Excellent 7.5 minute video: Where does the name “black hole” come from?:

…used to be called “gravitationally completely collapsed objects” so where did the name “black hole” come from? Especially considering they’re not “black” or “holes”!

Spoiler: Black Hole of Calcutta.

ScreenShot from video.

@Miraz Oh, that’s excellent. I agree, dark star is much better. Of course, as she points out, they are incredibly bright so there’s that to consider!
