Overview
Black holes are among the most powerful and mysterious objects in space. This book introduces readers to how black holes form when massive stars collapse and explains why their gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. Clear, accessible text explores the basic structure of a black hole, including the event horizon, and describes the different types of black holes scientists have discovered, from stellar black holes to supermassive ones at the centers of galaxies. Readers will learn how astronomers use telescopes and other tools to detect black holes and study their effects on nearby stars and galaxies. With clear, straightforward language and vibrant photos, this book supports state and national science standards for learners in grades 3–5.
