Black holes, or black stars by their older name, are locations where gravity overpowers all other forces of the Cosmos, including causality itself. They come to existence, according to current theory, by the compression of mass three times larger than the Sun - usually, but not always as an aftermath of supernovas - below the Schwarzschild radius, the event horizon, at which point surface escape velocity exceeds the speed of light, and due to connections described by general relativity, time dilation becomes infinite, thus no cause can lead to any effect anymore.
These objects have no emissions, and their presence can only be inferred by the distortion of light and the accretion of foreign mass.
Matter that falls into these star-husks is torn apart at the subatomic level by gravitic riptides as it sinks, its seconds stretching into days, decades and millenia, towards the temporal stasis of the event horizon, that it can only reach at the point of eternity.
Supermassive black holes, also known as galactic nuclei, can weigh many millions to billions of solar masses and are usually found at the centers of galaxies. How these objects came to exist is still a matter of speculation.
The nucleus of the Milky Way, named Sagittarius A*, is 8180 parsecs away and 4 million times heavier than the Sun.
The closest black hole is probably orbiting the star HR 6819, a thousand light years from Earth, and has approx. 4 solar masses.
