At the center of each galaxy, there is a supermassive black hole that is millions to billions of times heavier than our sun. The massive black hole captures nearby stars and drags them into a swirling accretion disk. John Archibald Wheeler invented the name ‘black hole’ because the light inside it can never be seen. Before Wheeler, these objects were often referred to as ‘frozen stars. Read More
