There are many wondrous and fascinating objects out there in space: gaseous nebulae stretching over dozens of light years, neutron stars, with diameters of a few miles, but weighing many times as much as our sun, or giant red stars, nearly as large as our whole solar system. But no stellar phenomenon in the universe is as mysterious and enigmatic as the black hole.
