Black Hole
The boundary around a black hole beyond which nothing can escape.
Event Horizon
The point at the center of a black hole where matter is infinitely dense.
Singularity
The type of black hole formed from the collapse of a massive star.
Stellar Black Hole
The process by which black holes can merge and grow larger.
Black Hole Merger
Large black holes found in the center of certain galaxies.
Supermassive Black Holes
Theoretical prediction of particle emission by black holes, proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking.
Hawking Radiation
The effect of black holes on time and space, where time slows down near the event horizon.
Time Dilation
Black holes that are between stellar and supermassive black holes in size.
Intermediate Black Holes
A phenomenon produced by black holes that distort the path of light passing close to them.
Gravitational Lensing
Predicted by Einstein's general relativity, these can be produced by accelerating masses like merging black holes.
Gravitational Waves
A structure formed by diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body, often seen around black holes.
Accretion Disk
The vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes in a very strong gravitational field, typically black holes.
Spaghettification
Very luminous objects powered by accretion of material onto supermassive black holes in the cores of distant galaxies.
Quasars
One method for detecting the presence of a black hole.
X-ray Emissions
Hypothetical areas of warped spacetime with great distance shortened by linking two points in space through a tunnel.
Wormholes
Violent events that produce gravitational waves, distorting space-time.
Black Hole Collisions
A theory that describes gravity, it predicts the formation of black holes and is fundamental in our understanding of them.
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity
The ongoing study of black holes, their properties, and effects they have on their surrounding environments.
