Black holes are objects in space with strong gravity that can trap light and matter. They come in different sizes, including massive ones at the center of galaxies. There may be hundreds of black holes in the Milky Way, with wind speeds that can exceed 20 million miles per hour.
A black hole is an object in space that has such a strong pull of gravity that it prevents light from escaping and can even suck in matter. Black holes can come in many sizes, from small black holes to collapsed stars to massive black holes at the center of galactic systems. There is evidence that black holes exist near the Earth. The Milky Way may contain hundreds of black holes, ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 times the mass of the Sun.

Scientists believe that black holes are actually fossils from before the present solar system existed.
Located in the constellation Scorpio in the Milky Way, IGR J17091-3624 is one of the smallest black holes ever discovered. Its mass is about three times that of the Sun.
Wind speeds from the black hole IGR J17091-3624 can exceed 20 million miles per hour (32 million km/h).
