The video explains how black holes, similar to vacuums, clean up space using gravity. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured images of black holes, revealing their role in maintaining galactic balance by regulating temperature and slowing galaxy growth. Contrary to past beliefs, black holes create significant energy, as demonstrated by British and Dutch astronomers. These energy bursts may contribute to star formation, highlighting black holes' importance in the universe.
