A black hole was a celestial object with a mass density so great that light could not escape it. Black holes could be formed when the core of a star collapsed in on itself after the outer layers exploded in a supernova: if the star's initial mass was greater than 8 stellar masses, the resulting neutron star's gravity would quickly cause it to collapse in upon itself until it became a black hole.[1] In 2258, the Talosians used their powers of illusion to make their planet appear to be a black hole, hoping to deter an unwanted visit by Spock and Michael Burnham.[2] Sometimes referred to as a black star, an encounter with a black hole on Stardate 3113.2 caused the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 to travel back in time to 1968.[3]
