the point where all the mass is squished together
twin jets of particles and light streaming
from the inner edge of the black hole’s accretion disk
the ‘surface’ of a black hole;

Black holes mainly come in two sizes. The stellar-mass ones have the mass of 5 to 100 Suns squished together. The supermassive ones have the mass of millions or billions of Suns.
