Black holes cannot be seen as they don't reflect any light.

The centre of black hole is called singularity - a point of infinite density i.e the space curvature extends to infinity.

Formation of Black holes

Formation of Black holes

  • During most of the life of a normal star, over many billions of years, it will support itself against its own gravity by thermal pressure, caused by nuclear processes which convert hydrogen into helium.
  • The explosive force of nuclear fusion inside them creates outward pressure which ...

Can‘t see , but how do we know their existence

  • But scientists know they exist because they rip apart stars that get too close to them and because they can send tremors through space.
  • It was a collision between two black holes more than a billion years ago that triggered what are called ‘gravitational waves’.
