BLACK HOLES
**Introduction to Black Holes** Black holes are captivating celestial objects that defy our understanding of space and gravity. These enigmatic regions possess such immense gravitational force that not even light can escape their clutches. Imagine a star, ten times more massive than our Sun, compressed into a sphere roughly the size of New York City. The result? A gravitational field so intense that nothing can break free from it.
