1final stage in the evolution of a very massive star, where the core's mass collapses to a point that its gravity is so strong that not even light can escape17 sets
2an object whose gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape12 sets
3a dense, collapsed core with a very strong gravitational pull that forms when a very massive star becomes a supernova8 sets
4an object whose gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.6 sets
5an object with a large mass but small size from which no light can escape due to tremendous gravitational pull.6 sets
6massive star that has collapsed to such a small volume that its gravity prevents the escape of everything, including light6 sets
7when big stars collapse as they die6 sets
8final stage of the largest stars that occur when the core collapses completely5 sets
9final stage in the evolution of a supernova, where the core's mass collapses to a point that it has no volume and whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape4 sets
10a region of space resulting from the collapse of a star4 sets
11schwarzes loch4 sets
12the remains of an exremely massive star pulled into a small volume by the force of gravity.4 sets
13an object with more than three solar masses squeezed into a ball only 10 km across whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape4 sets
14a star with a gravity field that is so strong that nothing can escape it now even light. caused by supernova collapsing3 sets
15a concentration of mass resulting from gravitational collapse, near which gravity is so intense that not even light can escape3 sets
16the remains of an extremely massive star pulled into a small volume by the force of gravity3 sets
17an object with more than three solar masses squeezed into a ball only 10 km across3 sets
18an object whose gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape from it3 sets
19an object so massive and dense that not even light can escape its gravity3 sets
20a very massive star might end its life as a ___.3 sets
21object with gravity so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape3 sets
22an object with gravity so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape3 sets
23sometimes a supernova has a bigger mass than the sun and leaves behind an invisible black hole3 sets
24a region in space where a collapsed star creates a vacuum and "sucks" up all of the surrounding stars/planets3 sets
25the remains of an extremly large star pulled into a small volume by the force of gravity2 sets
26an object whose gravity is so strong that the escape velocity from it exceeds the speed of light2 sets
27a region in space were a collapsed star creates a vacuum and "sucks" up all of the surrounding stars/planets2 sets
28in astronomy, an object so massive that nothing, not even light, can escape its gravitation. they were given their name becuase they absorb all the light that falls on them. the existence was first predicted by the general theory of relativity. supermassive ones have been found in the centers of many galaxies. stellar ones are thought to arise from the death of very massive stars.2 sets
29the end stage of a star, after a supernova; the core is so dense that not even light can escape2 sets
30the core of gravity that becomes so strong that not enought light can escape2 sets
31el agujero negro2 sets
32a star whose matter fell inward into a very small space.2 sets
33remains of massive stars pulled into small volume by gravity2 sets
34a singularity in space-time; the end result in the evolution of a very massive star.2 sets
35an object whose gravity is so strong that light cannot escape2 sets
36a region so dense that even light cannot escape it2 sets
37an object whose gravity is so strong that nothing not even light can escape2 sets
38is an object with gravity so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape2 sets
39the theoretical remaining core of a supernova that is so dense that even light cannot escape.2 sets
40a region in space where no radiation is emitted2 sets
