There are two main types of black hole; stellar mass and supermassive black holes, and they differ in size, formation, and impact on their host galaxy. Stellar mass black holes, a few to dozens of times the mass of the sun, form from collapsing massive stars. Supermassive black holes, on the other hand, are millions to billions of times more massive and tend to live in the center of galaxies and grow through accretion and mergers. /news/2025-04-ultralight-dark-early-black-hole.html Astronomy Wed, 02 Apr 2025 16:54:03 EDT news662831642 How gravity causes a perfectly spherical ball to roll down an inclined plane is part of the elementary school physics canon.
