A person with a better astronomy background can jump in, but I'll start by quoting a couple trusted astronomy publications. In short, a white hole is an astronomical object with the property that light cannot enter it.

From the Universe Today (at https://www.universetoday.com/122715/what-are-white-holes/ ):

"Black holes are places in the Universe where matter and energy are compacted so densely together that their escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. […] Fully describing a black hole requires a lot of fancy math, but these are real objects in our Universe. […] So then what’s a white hole?

"White holes are created when astrophysicists mathematically explore the environment around black holes, but pretend there’s no mass within the event horizon. What happens when you have a black hole singularity with no mass? […]

"Now if white holes did exist, which they probably don’t, they would behave like reverse black holes – just like the math predicts. Instead of pulling material inward, a white hole would blast material out into space like some kind of white chocolate fountain. […] One of the other implications of white hole math, is that they only theoretically exist as long as there isn’t a single speck of matter within the event horizon. As soon as single atom of hydrogen drifted into the region, the whole thing would collapse."

And from Space.com (at https://www.space.com/white-holes.html ):

"White holes are theoretical cosmic regions that function in the opposite way to black holes. Just as nothing can escape a black hole, nothing can enter a white hole. […]

"To a spaceship crew watching from afar, a white hole looks exactly like a black hole. It has mass. It might spin. A ring of dust and gas could gather around the event horizon — the bubble boundary separating the object from the rest of the universe. But if they kept watching, the crew might witness an event impossible for a black hole — a belch.

"Physicists describe a white hole as a black hole's "time reversal," a video of a black hole played backwards, much as a bouncing ball is the time-reversal of a falling ball. While a black hole's event horizon is a sphere of no return, a white hole's event horizon is a boundary of no admission — space-time's most exclusive club. No spacecraft will ever reach the region's edge. Objects inside a white hole can leave and interact with the outside world, but since nothing can get in, the interior is cut off from the universe's past: No outside event will ever affect the inside."
