25+ Interesting Facts About Black Holes
Black holes are formed when the matter of a dying star presses into a tiny space. Due to this collection of a large amount of matter in little space, the black hole contains excessive gravitation force that nothing (even light, the fastest object) can pass through it. Subatomic particles can escape from black holes . Just before reaching the event horizon, these tiny particles accelerate close to the speed of light and manage to move outside the black hole’s axis of rotation.

( Source ) According to a study in 2006, a black hole (GRS 1915+105) is spinning between 950 and 1,150 times per second. The speed of this black hole near the solar system is almost the maximum possible spinning speed . The sun cannot change into a black hole due to its small size. The sm...
