Black Hole

Black Hole refers to a point in space where the matter is so compressed as to create a gravity field from which even light cannot escape.

The concept was theorized by Albert Einstein in 1915 and the term ‘black hole’ was coined in the mid-1960s by American physicist John Archibald Wheeler.

In April 2019, the scientists at the Event HORIZON TELESCOPE PROJECT released the first-ever image of a Black Hole (more precisely, of its shadow).
