== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Black Hole''' β A region of space with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing can escape. * '''Singularity''' β The center of a black hole, a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down. * '''Event Horizon''' β The "Point of No Return"; the boundary around a black hole beyond which nothing can escape. * '''Schwarzschild Radius''' β The radius of the event horizon for a non-rotating black hole. * '''Spaghettification''' β The process by which an object would be stretched vertically and compressed horizontally as it falls into a black hole. * '''Stellar Black Hole''' β A black hole formed by the collapse of a massive star (up to 20x the mass of the Sun). * '''Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH)''' β A black hole millions or billions of times the mass of the Sun, found at the centers of galaxies. * '''Accretion Disk''' β A disk of gas and dust spiraling into a black hole, heating up and emitting intense light/X-rays. * '''Quasar''' β An extremely bright galactic center powered by a supermassive black hole. * '''Hawking Radiation''' β The theoretical radiation emitted by black holes due to quantum effects near the event horizon. * '''Time Dilation''' β The slowing down of time near a massive object (as predicted by General Relativity). * '''Gravitational Waves''' β Ripples in spacetime caused by the collision of massive objects like black holes. * '''Gravitational Lensing''' β The bending of light from distant stars as it passes near a black hole. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
