# Definition Sets
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 escape14 sets
2a dense, collapsed core with a very strong gravitational pull that forms when a very massive star becomes a supernova7 sets
3massive star that has collapsed to such a small volume that its gravity prevents the escape of everything, including light6 sets
4an object with a large mass but small size from which no light can escape due to tremendous gravitational pull.5 sets
5final 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
6when big stars collapse as they die4 sets
7a region of space resulting from the collapse of a star4 sets
8final stage of the largest stars that occur when the core collapses completely4 sets
9an 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
10a very massive star might end its life as a ___.3 sets
11an object whose gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape from it3 sets
12a star with a gravity field that is so strong that nothing can escape it now even light. caused by supernova collapsing3 sets
13the remains of an exremely massive star pulled into a small volume by the force of gravity.3 sets
14the remains of an extremely massive star pulled into a small volume by the force of gravity3 sets
15an object so massive and dense that not even light can escape its gravity3 sets
16sometimes a supernova has a bigger mass than the sun and leaves behind an invisible black hole3 sets
17a concentration of mass resulting from gravitational collapse, near which gravity is so intense that not even light can escape3 sets
18a region in space where a collapsed star creates a vacuum and "sucks" up all of the surrounding stars/planets3 sets
19an invisible object in space whose mass and gravitational force is so great that not even light can escape.2 sets
20a region in space where no radiation is emitted2 sets
21an object whose gravity is so strong that the escape velocity from it exceeds the speed of light2 sets
22a region so dense that even light cannot escape it2 sets
23is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, including light, can escape its pull.2 sets
24in 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
25the end stage of a star, after a supernova; the core is so dense that not even light can escape2 sets
26object with gravity so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape2 sets
27el agujero negro2 sets
28an object whose gravity is so strong that light cannot escape2 sets
29the theoretical remaining core of a supernova that is so dense that even light cannot escape.2 sets
30the remains of an extremly large star pulled into a small volume by the force of gravity2 sets
31an object with more than three solar masses squeezed into a ball only 10 km across2 sets
32a singularity in space-time; the end result in the evolution of a very massive star.2 sets
33after a supernova explosion, the core remains so massive, that without the energy created by nuclear fusion to support it, the core is swallowed up by its own gravity. the gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. the core has become a cosmic vaccum2 sets
34final stage in the evolution of a supernova, in which the core's mass collapses to a point that is has no volume and whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape2 sets
35object so dense that nothing, including light, can escape it2 sets
36a region in space were a collapsed star creates a vacuum and "sucks" up all of the surrounding stars/planets2 sets
37a region from which not even light can escape1 set
38more dnse than a neutron star, intense surface gravity lets no light espcape, as matter is pulle dinto it it becomes very hot and emits x rays, likey candidate is cygnus x-1, a strong x ray source1 set
39gravity prevents light from escaping1 set
40an object w/ gravity so strong that nothing can escape1 set
