Black holes: Facts about the darkest objects in the universe

SMRTR summary

Black holes are regions in space with gravity so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They form when massive stars collapse or over time in galactic centers. Scientists have imaged black holes indirectly and detected their mergers through gravitational waves. Falling into one would result in "spaghettification" due to extreme gravitational forces.
