	Black hole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Supermassive fl holes containing millions to billions of solar masses could also form wherever a large number of stars are packed in a relatively small region of space, or by large amounts of mass falling into a "seed" fl hole, or by repeated fusion of smaller fl holes.
		Black holes require the general relativistic concept of a curved spacetime: their most striking properties rely on a distortion of the geometry of the space surrounding them.
		Using the first law of fl hole mechanics, it follows that the entropy of a fl hole is one quarter of the area of the horizon.

	Black Holes
		The event horizon is the point outside the fl hole where the gravitational attraction becomes so strong that the escape velocity (the velocity at which an object would have to go to escape the gravitational field) equals the speed of light.
		In fact, the theoretical prediction of fl holes is due to the General Theory of Relativity, which is built on the principle that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant.
		Any star shines and survives because the pull of gravity, which is trying to compress it, just balances the pressure generated by the nuclear furnace at its centre, which is trying to expand it.

		The Black Star Line was the steamship company operated by Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association from 1919 to 1922.
		The Black Star Line was incorporated in Delaware on June 23, 1919 and was capitalized at a maximum of $500,000.
		The Black Star Line fell victim to overcharging by engineers, thievery by representatives and officers, and sabotage by the Bureau of Investigation, the predecessor to the FBI, under the direction of J.

	CNN.com - Black hole seen ripping star apart - Feb. 18, 2004
		As it approached a supermassive fl hole that packs as much mass as 100 million suns, the star was stretched by tidal forces similar to those that raise the oceans on Earth.
		That is consistent with a star being torn apart to feed the fl hole, Komossa explained, as opposed to a smoother flow that would have occurred if the fl hole were consuming a giant gas blob of similar mass.
		In other cases, Weaver said, stars that are not close enough to a fl hole to be torn apart could be instead spun up to 60 times their normal rotation speed.

	CNN.com - Suddenly, universe awash in black holes - September 17, 2002
		Such fl holes are thought to be common in young galaxies, where the matter gobblers have plenty of material to satisfy their voracious appetites.
		But astronomers presumed such dynamic fl holes were rare in older galaxies, their supplies of gas and dust presumably depleted over the eons.
		Black holes are regions of space so staggeringly warped and dense that light cannot escape their grasp.

	Black Holes
		Black holes are the evolutionary endpoints of stars at least 10 to 15 times as massive as the Sun.
		Since fl holes are small (only a few to a few tens of kilometers in size), and light that would allow us to see them cannot escape, a fl hole floating alone in space would be hard, if not impossible, to see.
		However, if a fl hole passes through a cloud of interstellar matter, or is close to another "normal" star, the fl hole can accrete matter into itself.

		As it neared the enormous gravity of the fl hole, the star was stretched by tidal forces until it was torn apart.
		This outburst, one of the most extreme ever detected in a galaxy, was caused by gas from the destroyed star that was heated to millions of degrees before being swallowed by the fl hole.
		The force that disrupted the star in RXJ1242-11 is an extreme example of the tidal force caused by differences in gravity acting on the front and back of an object.

		Sky watchers, marveling at the dizzying speeds of whirling stars and twirling gas around the galactic center, for years have speculated about the hidden force that drives the dancing dervishes to their doom.
		Just as the Earth's steady run around the sun prevents the star from ensnaring the planet, so S2's stable orbit safeguards it from being swallowed by the supermassive fl hole, at least until a collision or gravitational encounter with another heavenly body throws it off course, scientists said.
		Its rank as second-smallest among the 37 known supermassives is in keeping with an emerging connection between a fl hole's mass and a galaxy's "bulge," as astronomers call it.

		Most of the gas making up the star is lost from the system but some of it is trapped by the fl hole and forms a disc of gas around it.

		When a very massive object passes between a star and the earth, the object acts like a lens and focuses light rays from the star on the Earth.

		Jets are believed to emerge, not from fl holes themselves, but from their ‘accretion disk’ – the belt of dismembered stars and gas that a fl hole drags in towards it.

		The fl hole then swallowed some of the matter left behind, causing a flare of X-rays that was detected on Earth.
		The fl hole is at the centre of a galaxy known as RX J1242-11 and is estimated to have a mass about 100 million times that of the Sun.
		This small amount is consistent with predictions that the momentum and energy of the process by which the star is consumed would fling most of the star's gas away from the fl hole.

	Imagine the Universe! Dictionary A-D
		An X-ray binary is a special case where one of the stars is a collapsed object such as a white dwarf, neutron star, or fl hole, and the separation between the stars is small enough so that matter is transferred from the normal star to the compact star star, producing X-rays in the process.
		This is analogous to the second law of thermodynamics, with the surface areas of the fl holes being a measure of the entropy of the system.
		It may refer to material surrounding a newly-formed star; material accreting onto a fl hole or neutron star; or the large region of a spiral galaxy containing the spiral arms.
