…THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF BLACK HOLES? The stellar black holes, which are five to 10 times the mass of the Sun; the supermassive black holes, which are 100 thousand to billions of times the mass of the Sun, and the so-called intermediate black holes, which are in between the previous two in terms of size.

…THE LARGEST BLACK HOLE DISCOVERED IN THE MILKY WAY IS 33 TIMES LARGER IN MASS THAN THE SUN? Gaia BH3 is about 2,000 light-years away from Earth (a lightyear is the equivalent of 9.45 trillion kilometers).

…A BLACK HOLE COULD TURN YOU INTO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO SPAGHETTI? Through a process called “spaghettification”, a person would turn into a long strip similar to a strand of pasta.

…THE PASSAGE OF TIME CHANGES WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE TO A BLACK HOLE? The closer you are to a black hole, the slower time passes. So, objects far from you appear to be moving faster.
