no, a black hole is a region. With nothing, not even light could escape, is a black hole. Around the black hole, an event horizon that marks the point of no return. The way it is named: the Black Hole, is because "it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics."
What many people don't know is that the black hole is divided into 3 parts: the 'singularity', which is in the centre. The 'inner event horizon', which is the point of no return in black holes. After passing the point, light or matter can't escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. The matter or light will then disappear. And the 'outer event horizon', is the outer layer of the black hole.
Yes. Some galaxies, particularly irregular galaxies, appear to lack supermassive black holes.
Black holes travel through space just as anything else (i.e. galaxies, stars, etc) travels.
Not all galaxies, but it is believed that the majority of galaxies have central black holes.
Yes they do.
Active Galaxies are thought to be powered by rotation
It's not "galaxy stars", but galaxies, that have the black holes at their center.All, or most, galaxies have a giant black hole at their center.
Yes
Let's put it this way... All larger galaxies have huge black holes in their center. In addition to that, you can expect any galaxy to have a significant number of stellar black holes.
It's generally believed that galaxies first formed around "ordinary" black holes and over time, they grew into super massive black holes as stars were slowly "consumed" by the black hole.
in the middle of giant galaxies
All galaxies have black holes, even the Milky Way.
Pick anyone and there will be black hole in it.
