It turns out, a black hole can be any size—there is no known upper or lower limit. There are many types of black holes. And they aren't even necessarily black. Black holes are mysterious phenomena with a host of mind-bendingly curious characteristics: from event horizons that separate the universe into \"outside\" and \"inside\" to the warping of time itself.
