There are three main types of black holes: primordial, stellar, and supermassive. Primordial black holes are the smallest and have a mass of a single atom. Stellar black holes are medium-sized with a mass up to 20 times the sun and fit within 10 miles. Supermassive black holes are the largest, with masses over a million suns, located at the center of galaxies. Black holes form when massive stars collapse and the gravity is too strong for anything to escape. We can observe black holes indirectly by detecting the radiation given off by nearby matter being pulled in.
