Black holes are one of the most interesting things in the universe. They have a very strong gravitational pull, so strong that even light cannot escape from it! This made it harder for scientists to capture the image. The "First image of a black hole" you see is a combined data from 8 different telescopes across the world! 

How are the Black Holes formed?

Stars are mostly made up of hydrogen atoms. In the core, these are crushed down to helium atoms by nuclear fusion, radiating immense energy. The star remains stable because the Gravity and the radiation nullify each other. But when the star has more mass(probably more than our sun), the atoms further fuse into heavier atoms until they reach up to iron. Unlike other elements, the fusion of iron does not release energy. Iron is piled up in the core until the Gravity is stronger than the radiation and the balance between them is broken. The star begins to sink in the core and explodes in a Supernova explosion creating either a Neutron Star or a Black Hole(formed by massive stars).
