Black holes are composed of matter that is so dense that its own gravity causes it to collapse. All black holes, therefore, have an infinite density. Black holes also have other interesting properties due to this infinite density. A black hole has a very low temperature because so little radiation escapes from it. In fact, the only way radiation can escape from a black hole is for random quantum fluctuations to produce a complementary pair of particles, with only one of the particles inside of the event horizon. This causes that particle to be sucked into the black hole before the particles can collide and destroy each other. The remaining particle then uses the energy from the black hole to fly through space.
