10 Mind Blowing Facts About Black Holes

We all are familiar with the famous word “Black Hole” from variety of sources, especially from science fiction movies. We assume that a black hole is a big vacuum that pulls everything inward. Well, that’s not true. Some famously known black holes are Cygnus X-1, Centaurus A, M87 and Sagittarius A*. Black holes exist from millions of years and will continue to expand. Our solar system is also formed as result of a massive black hole. Today, at FactWish we’ve collected few less known facts about Black Holes in memory of famous scientist Stephen Hawking. Lets get started.
