I have find this primer to be well-written and informative even though it is very basic. The best thing about it is that it is all true.

Mercury 2010, you are right about most of what you said, but you said one thing that is not true. You said, "Thats why we can see it." We can't see it at all, only the materials that are around it. Actually, since we have never experienced what a black hole would do to us, we cannot be so sure how it would affect us if we are at or inside the event horizon. It is all theory for now. Maybe we will learn the real answer in the very far future or maybe never. We will never know for sure.

Black holes are formed by stars that have been at least 10x more massive than the sun. The stars become supergiants and then, turn into white dwarves, neutron stars, and finally black holes. The sun will never become a black hole since it is not massive enough to be one.

ok. a black hole is simply a star that got so big that its gravity turned on the star.

compressing all of its mass into a very very very small point.

this small point still has the same (if not more) huge amount of mass and gravity.

because the gravity is sooo strong, nothing can escape.Even light. Thats why we can see it. it doesn't have any light coming from it (only INTO it)
so it looks invisible to us.

the only way we can SEE a black hole is to watch what it does to stars around it...... it either spins them in a very very fast orbit (like the comets around the sun), the closer they are the faster they orbit...... or it eats the stars (not often though) and stretches the star all the way around the event horizon.


the event horizon is a border/ ring around the black hole in which the gravity takes over and nothing can escape anymore.
once you met the event horizon

inside the event horizon matter becomes stretched out till it stretches to infinity.

this makes the inside a very strange place. called a singularity.

no one knows what really happens inside a black hole, but some claim everything is soo compact and tight that even atoms cannot move......... thusly time doesn't move either.

some have claimed that all this matter is pushed through to an "other side" and sprayed out in reverse, like a big bang.

many claim this is not possible since it breaks normal physical laws of thermodynamics, but I wonder what it looks like if you apply quantum mechanics instead.
others claim

Just remember nobody has seen one yet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_holes
A black hole is like a trumpet.
To explain the event horizon, think about this. If you drove a car from the edge of the trumpet towards the center, if you don't go too far in, you could stop the car, shift into reverse and drive out. But after a point, you can't stop and shift into reverse, so you keep going into the trumpet until you are spaghetti. That point is the event horizon.
In my opinion black holes don't exist and are produced by the equations.

Black holes are pretty neat things. The have no light at all, there is no sound, Anything within a million miles away can be sucked in, If you were to be in one it would be a wild ride, your body would contort into all sorts of position and it would implode onto itself. If your really interested in space you should check out a series on the history channel called; 'The Universe" its a pretty cool show

The event horizon of a black hole is the point in space where and object first feels the effects of gravity.

a black hole forms when a star gets old and dies. it blows up creating a black hole. nothing can escape it. not even light. in a few million years the suns gonna go to. when it dous it will suck in the first four planets. gulp. earth is the third planet from the sun. oh no.the first 4 are are mecury venus earth and mars.

by ability of definition.you could not see coaching from interior a black hollow.( this would not mean the coaching is lost.) The existence of black holes may well be known, in thought, by ability of remark of its gravitational effects on exterior gentle and mass.

black holes are also called singularities, and occur when a star implodes, or colapses in on itself, and creates the black hole. No sound can excape a black hole. Of course, I'm no expert so... here's your experts:
