The goal of this paper is about explaining black holes in plain English so that even those with a basic knowledge of science can understand all of these information in a successful manner. Black hole is a special topic that has attracted the attention of many scientists and a large amount of new discovery has taken place and is yet to take place. Many science lovers like to know more about black holes and there is a lot of curiosity among the general about it. But it is a problem for many science students and students who have a basic knowledge of science to find it difficult to understand most of these profound scientific facts discovered by scientists.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
- Abstract: This section introduces the topic of black holes, emphasizing their importance in science and the challenge of understanding them for those with basic knowledge. It highlights the author's goal of making this information accessible.
- Introduction: This section defines black holes as regions of extreme gravitational pull formed by the collapse of massive objects. It explains that not even light can escape their gravitational field, making them appear dark.
- How can such a huge amount of matter come together to form a black hole?: This section explores the process of star formation and evolution, leading to the eventual collapse of massive stars into black holes. It describes the role of gravity and radiation in stellar evolution and the phenomenon of supernova explosions.
- Super massive black holes: This section describes the existence of supermassive black holes, which are much larger than typical black holes and reside at the centers of galaxies. It explains their influence on galaxy formation and structure.
- Sagittarius A*: This section focuses on the famous supermassive black hole located at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. It discusses the observation of this black hole, including the use of X-rays and infrared radiation.
- How scientists captured the first image of a black hole: This section explains the process of capturing the first image of a black hole, highlighting the use of interferometry and the Event Horizon Telescope. It describes the challenges and complexities involved in this endeavor.
