Overview
A black hole is an astronomical body so compact that its gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping, characterized by an event horizon that traps objects inside and a central singularity where the curvature of spacetime is infinite. Black holes are now recognized as a fundamental aspect of astrophysics and cosmology, with their study involving the work of physicists. The event horizon marks the boundary beyond which anything that enters cannot escape.
