    Black hole

    A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so intense that nothing—not even light—can escape. Predicted by general relativity and supported by extensive observations, black holes span a wide range of masses from stellar remnants to supermassive objects at galactic centers. Direct imaging, stellar dynamics, X-ray observations, and gravitational-wave detections provide multiple, independent lines of evidence for their existence.
