Death by Black Hole: Key Points

Black holes are regions of space where matter has been compressed to an extreme density, creating an infinitely deep gravitational well.
As matter falls into a black hole, it is stretched out along the direction of gravity and eventually reaches the point of no return — the event horizon — from which nothing can escape.
Black holes come in several varieties, including stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.
Astronomers have observed numerous phenomena associated with black holes, including jets of material shooting out from them, X-ray emissions, and gravitational lensing.
Despite its fearsome reputation, a black hole's death is relatively peaceful: its intense gravity pulls in all nearby matter until there is nothing left to feed on, and then it simply fades away over time.
