Black Holes
This film, from Twig World, looks at how dying stars transform into black holes and are areas of mass so great that even light can't escape.
The key points made in the film are:
•When a star dies, it collapses and condenses into a single point, known as a singularity.
•The gravitational pull around the singularity is enormous.
•The region surrounding a black hole is known as the event horizon.
•Anything inside a black hole's event horizon, even light, is pulled towards the singularity and lost forever.
