Black hole destroying star, illustration. A black hole is an object so compact (usually a collapsed star) that nothing can escape its gravitational pull. Not even light. In this image, we can see a black hole, but only because it is surrounded by a superheated disc of material, an accretion disc. The massive gravity is also pulling in and tidally disrupting a nearby star. Such events are believed to be occurring close to the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, called Sagittarius A*. | |
