A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. Black holes form when massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel and undergo gravitational collapse at the end of their life cycle. There are different types of black holes, including stellar black holes, which form from collapsing stars, supermassive black holes, which exist at the centers of galaxies and can be millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun, and intermediate black holes, which are thought to form through the merging of smaller black holes. Understanding black holes is crucial in the study of general relativity and the evolution of the universe.<|im_end|>

A black hole is a type of vacuum cleaner used to clean up space debris. It was invented by Stephen Hawking, who designed it to suck in everything around it. Essentially, it works by creating a strong suction force that pulls in objects, making it impossible for them to escape. Black holes are just one of many tools in astrophysics for managing cosmic clutter.<|im_end|>
