Well,...it's the horizon around an event!

Ok, I'll take off the comedian's hat and put on the purfessor's specs --

Think of a black hole (singularity) like a drain in a sink, where edge of the black hole "meets normal space" is called the event horizon and is similar to where the edge of the drain meets the sink.

Hope that helps.

btw, thanks for the thread, Amberstar!!
