...Hopkins, Arizona, and HCO owns a station beyond the polluted skies of Boston, in the town of Harvard, Mass. The equipment at HCO's station includes a large, optical telescope and a radiotelescope--a movable disk 84 feet across for receiving radio waves from sources in deep space. A reflecting telescope composed of six 72-inch-diameter mirrors should go into operation at SAO's Arizona station this summer, although in Fall 1975 completion of construction was expected by Fall 1976. The six mirrors, focused together by computer, will equal the light-gathering capacity of a 176-inch reflector--second...
Black holes are theoretical spherical gaps in space, predicted by the general theory of relativity, from which nothing can escape.

The collapsed matter should be so dense, and its gravitational field so strong, that within a certain distance it would hold in even light. Once any object, radio wave or ray of light passes within this distance--crosses the black hole's "event horizon"--it is effectively lost to this universe...
