Black holes are so powerful that they can bend light and even trap it, meaning nothing—not even light—can escape their gravitational pull.
Yet, they exist all over our galaxy. In fact, the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way is estimated to be four million times more massive than our Sun. Scientists are still trying to fully understand how these incredibly powerful objects form and interact with their surroundings, and while doing that, they've made a terrifying discovery it's about to change everything. Join us as we dig deeper into black holes and what they could really mean for the future of humanity.
