A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. It is formed when a massive star dies and its core collapses in on itself.
Black holes cannot be seen directly, but their effects on their surroundings can be observed. Scientists use telescopes and other instruments to detect the radiation and distortions caused by black holes.
No, once something enters a black hole's event horizon (the point of no return), it cannot escape. The extreme gravitational pull of a black hole is too strong for anything to escape, including light.
Black holes can vary in size, with the smallest being known as "micro" black holes and the largest being "supermassive" black holes. Supermassive black holes can have a mass equivalent to billions of suns.
If you were to fall into a black hole, you would experience a phenomenon known as "spaghettification," where the intense gravitational pull would stretch and compress your body until you eventually reach the singularity (the point of infinite density) at the center of the black hole.
