Black holes are massive and dense objects with a gravitational field so strong that nothing can escape from them. They are thought to form when massive stars collapse in on themselves. Black holes can be destructive , pulling in matter and energy from anything that gets too close, but they can also be beneficial, acting as massive power sources for galaxies. Scientists are still learning a lot about black holes, and there is much still to be discovered.
