The "Vacuums of Space": Black Holes

The definition of a black hole according to NASA is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. Black holes began to be present when the universe was formed. Black holes. They are a variety of types of black holes. These four are the main ones, stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature.


Stellar Black Holes



Stellar black holes are formed when a star collapses. The star that collapses is small but very dense. So when they collapse the black hole formed has a lot a gravitational pull. The gravitational pull attracts matter and pulls it into the black hole increasing its size. These types of black holes are easily seen through X-rays and are one of the most common black holes.





Intermediate Black Holes




Intermediate black holes form when a group of stars clashes in a chain reaction. Intermediate black holes can come together and form a supermassive black hole. The first intermediate black hole was founded very recently in 2014. Today we have more research on them but we still have answered questions about them. The intermediate black holes are found in dwarf galaxies; small galaxies.





Miniature Black Holes




Miniature Black holes are the smallest type of Black Holes. Tiny black holes were formed when after the universe began. These black holes are so small that they will evaporate. They don’t have a stranger enough gravitational pull or size to absorb items. They are so small they are almost meaningless when it comes to black holes.




Supermassive Black Holes




Supermassive black holes are the largest type of Black holes. They are said to exist in the centers of galaxies, even the one we live in, the milky way. Supermassive black holes produce more energy than the Sun does. How Supermassive Black holes are formed are still unknown to this day.
