Hi guys I’m back with another sbc post. This week, which is week 6 our task was to research a top that we are interested about and feature it in this post.

I have always wondered a lot about outer space and the things that are out there. But one thing that has had me truly fascinated are black holes. Now most of you readers probably know what a black hole is. You’ve probably see one in a movie or TV show.

For those of you who don’t know what a black hole is it is a…

In case your still confused a black hole “eats” everything thing around it including light thus being called a black hole. With just a normal telescope you are unable to see a black hole because they absorb all the light around them. The reason scientists know about black holes is because of its gravitational pull. Using special tools scientist are able to find them by measuring the gravitational pull around space. Now I have a video about black holes to share with you people. Here it is.

I chose to show you this video because first crash course videos are amazingly helpful when it comes to understanding things. Also this video really covers the basics when it comes to black holes as well all the facts they gave are accurate.

Now I have a quiz for you guys. It’s called two truths and a lie. You’ve probably all played this before but anyway the rules are simple, below are 3 statements only 2 are facts the other is completely made up. All the info you need to solve these statements are in this post or in the video. Have fun and don’t forget to comment your answers below. Enjoy!

1. When you get really close to a black hole time slows down

2. If you get within a few dozen km of a stellar mass black hole you experience  spaghettification

3. Scientists say our sun will become a black hole in the future

Don’t forget to comment your guesses below. Thanks for reading
