Black Hole Story
What is a Black Hole?
A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light and other electromagnetic waves, has enough energy to escape it.
Extreme Mass
These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. (Mass is the amount of matter, or “stuff,” in an object.) A kind of black hole is called “stellar.” Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the Sun.
There are four types of black holes: stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature.
What if you land in Black Hole
If you land heroically into a stellar-mass black hole, your body would be subjected to a process called 'spaghettification'. . The black hole's gravity force would compress you from top to toe, while stretching you at the same time… thus, spaghetti.
Milky Way Galaxy - Sagittarius A*'
Astronomers estimate that the Milky Way has anywhere from 10 million to 1 billion stellar black holes,
Sagittarius A* (, abbreviated Sgr A*), is the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way.
Chance of encontering a black hole
Given how many black holes we expect are out there and how long our Solar System has been around, that's only about a ~0.000000001% chance, or 1-in-100 billion, that any planet would encounter a black hole over the past 4.5 billion years.
