Wonder note: factorials are written with an exclamation mark. For example, 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1.
They are mysterious, real, and pretty amazing. Take a little space trip to learn what scientists know.
A black hole has enormous gravity. Like other objects with mass, it pulls on nearby things.
Scientists find black holes by studying how they affect nearby stars, gas, and light.
We cannot see a black hole itself, because light cannot escape from inside its event horizon.
The event horizon is the boundary beyond which light cannot get back out.
Near some black holes, gravity can pull more strongly on one end of an object than the other.
Pick an answer. If it is tricky, use the clue and try again.
Choose a color and size, then tap the board to place a brick. Make a rocket, a castle, a creature, or something only you can imagine.
That's how discoveries begin.
