πBohai Gulf
β UNESCO recently inscribed China's Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf (Phase II) to its World Heritage List.
πBohai Gulf:
β It is the innermost gulf of the Yellow Seaon the coast of Northeastern and North China.
β It is sometimes called Bohai Sea, or Bo Hai for short; in earlier times it was called the Gulf of Chili or the Gulf of Pechili. .
β The Bohai Gulf is enclosed by the Liaodong Peninsula(northeast) and the Shandong Peninsula (south).
β Among the most important cities on the Bohai Gulf are Dalian and Tianjin; its shores form three of the most famous bays in the country: Liaodong Bay, Bohai Bay, and Laizhou Bay.
β The Yellow River, Chinaβs second longest river, discharges into the gulf.
β There are both onshore and offshore petroleum deposits, and several oil refineries are located there as well as other industries.

πBlack Hole
β It is a region in space with such strong gravity that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. According to Einsteinβs theory of general relativity, a black hole is created when a large mass becomes very compact, bending spacetime. The boundary of no return is called the event horizon.
β Types: There are four main types of black holes:
πΈStellar Black Holes: Formed by collapsing stars.
πΈIntermediate Black Holes: Larger than stellar but smaller than supermassive.
πΈSupermassive Black Holes (SMBH): The largest type, found at the centers of galaxies, like Sagittarius A* in our galaxy.
β Micro Black Holes: Very small, hypothetical black holes, proposed by Stephen Hawking in 1971.
β Black holes form when a massive star runs out of fuel. Stars shine because of nuclear fusion, which pushes outward against gravity. But when a star exhausts its fuel, this outward pressure stops, and gravity takes over, causing the star to collapse.
