Black holes are regions of space with immense gravity formed after giant stars collapse. Anything that crosses the event horizon of a black hole cannot escape its gravitational pull and would appear to an outside observer to freeze at the horizon. At the center of a black hole is a singularity, a point of infinitely dense mass. The Milky Way galaxy likely contains a supermassive black hole at its center called Sagittarius A*, which has a mass over 2.5 million times that of the Sun.
