Black Holes
A black hole is a collapsed star that has gravity so high that even light cannot escape it. For example if you were to compress the earth down to the size of a peanut you would have a black hole. Black holes have 3 main parts the outer event horizon, the inner event horizon and the singularity. Black holes gravity is so strong that not only does it warp the space and light around it, it also changes the way time floes.
