01. What are black holes? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

A black hole results from the final life stage that a star much more massive than our own Sun goes through as it loses its battle against gravity. The "black" in the term comes from the fact that nothing— not even light—can escape from the enormous gravitational force of a black hole.
