Solution

Black Holes are stars which have contracted so much that they have developed super density. They are so compact and their gravitational pull is so strong that even light or radiation produced by them cannot escape. It can swallow up everything near it and nothing that gets into it can ever escape. It is the smallest and the densest object in the universe.
