Black Hole Safety Video

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This video explains what black holes are and how to safely approach them, if you were a small, one-eyed monster. Recently, gravitational wave detectors have found pairs of black holes, each several times the mass of our Sun, merging together.
