A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...
The aqua circle is the light source as it would be seen if there were no lens, while white spots are the multiple images of the source (see Einstein ring). A gravitational lens is matter, such as a cluster of galaxies or a point particle, that bends light from a distant source as it travels toward
Extremal black hole – black hole with the minimal possible mass that can be compatible with a given charge and angular momentum. Black hole electron – if there were a black hole with the same mass and charge as an electron, it would share many of the properties of the electron including the magnetic moment and Compton wavelength.
The maximum amplification occurs when the background galaxy (or in the present case a bright part of it) is exactly behind the black hole.

The no-hair theorem states that all stationary black hole solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell equations of gravitation and electromagnetism in general relativity can be completely characterized by only three independent externally observable classical parameters: mass, angular momentum, and electric charge.
A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. [1] The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
Direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) are massive black hole seeds theorized to have formed in the high-redshift Universe and with typical masses at formation of ~ 10 5 M ☉, but spanning between 10 4 M ☉ and 10 6 M ☉. The environmental physical conditions to form a DCBH (as opposed to a cluster of stars) are the following: [3] [4]
A stellar black hole (or stellar-mass black hole) is a black hole formed by the gravitational collapse of a star. [1] They have masses ranging from about 5 to several tens of solar masses. [2] They are the remnants of supernova explosions, which may be observed as a type of gamma ray burst. These black holes are also referred to as collapsars.
