"Black Hole Sun" is a 1994 song by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden; the writer has said he's not sure himself exactly what the lyrics mean. The term "black hole" is used by astrophysicists to refer to an object with a gravitational field so strong that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Our sun is actually too small to become a black hole; the minimum amount of mass required is somewhere between 150% and 300% of the sun's mass.

A black hole can have anywhere between a few Sun masses, and several billion Sun masses (the so-called "supermassive black holes").
