Default Re: Massive black hole found

"Like the much larger, supermassive black holes found at galaxy centers, stellar-mass black holes have such powerful gravity fields that not even light can escape them."

Um... unlike relatively light black holes, which also have such powerful gravity fields that not even light can escape them, because that's why they're called black holes in the first place?
