Billg11785 Posted February 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Can a mass (planet or star) be so great that its own gravational pull prevents light from escaping it, thus would appear black or not appear at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dest_titor1 Posted February 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yes, That is what a black hole is or a dark star, a dark star is a star that could only live for a million years or so, its mass is equaled out perfectly. But of cource, none have been ob severed. Black holes have been seen and mapped by their effects on near by object like stars and nebulae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSteven Posted February 8, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2008 normally black holes are the result of a supernova, collapsing onto it's self. i think lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma_Acid Posted February 11, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2008 A black hole is the remains of a star (usually one much bigger than ours) that has run out of fuel and has collapsed in on itself to a single point where space and time have become pretty meaningless.
