I'm trying to get a better understanding of the concept of black holes. Can you explain it to me?

Black holes are regions of space-time with such strong gravitational pull that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. The gravity is caused by an incredibly dense core
 •
 • called a singularity

 • which is the remnant of a collapsed star. There's still much about black holes that has yet to be understood, including how their immense gravity affects surrounding matter and what happens inside them.
