Every Black Hole Explained in 10 Minutes

One black hole is smaller than an atom. Another would swallow our entire solar system. And one might be made of nothing but light. Here are 19 kinds of black holes, from the smallest the laws of physics allow to monsters ten billion times heavier than the Sun, plus the strange ones that may not exist at all.
