HAWKING RADIATION – A theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation due to quantum effects near the event horizon.

SUPERNOVA – A massive explosion marking the death of a star, sometimes resulting in the creation of a black hole.

NEUTRON STAR – A dense remnant of a star that may form after a supernova, though it can become a black hole if it exceeds a critical mass.

STELLAR REMNANT – The leftover core of a star after it has gone through its life cycle, potentially forming a black hole.

SCHWARZSCHILD RADIUS – The radius of the event horizon around a black hole.

GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE – The process by which a star’s core collapses under its own gravity, potentially forming a black hole.

EVENT HORIZON – The boundary surrounding a black hole beyond which nothing can escape.

SINGULARITY – The point at the center of a black hole where matter is compressed to an infinite density.

BLACK HOLE – A region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape its pull.
