Black Hole: A Mysterious Secret

Imagine a giant vacuum cleaner in space that pulls everything towards itself—even light! That’s a black hole. It is like a hungry giant in space, with gravity so strong that nothing can escape its pull, not even light!

Black holes form when a massive star collapses under its own weight after a supernova explosion.

The largest black hole we know of is M87, which is 6.5 billion times bigger than our Sun!

If Earth were inside a black hole, time would slow down so much that a clock placed near the black hole would tick extremely slowly, while the same clock on Earth would appear to be moving much faster.

If you were to fall into a black hole (which I definitely don’t recommend! 😊), you would be stretched into long, thin strands—just like spaghetti! This process is called spaghettification.

But don’t worry 😊, black holes are very far away from us, and scientists observe them safely using powerful telescopes like Hubble and James Webb.

Isn’t space amazing?
