    This document provides information about black holes. It discusses that black holes are formed by massive objects collapsing under their own gravity and are so dense that not even light can escape. The document outlines different types of black holes, from stellar-mass black holes formed by collapsed stars to supermassive black holes millions to billions times the mass of our sun found at the center of galaxies. It also discusses how black holes can be detected through their effects on nearby stars, gas, and gravitational waves. The document warns of the dangers close to a black hole, including strong radiation, time dilation, and spaghettification as objects are stretched apart.
