Story - Black Holes
There are many strange things in space. Stars, planets and moons can be seen in space. However, not many people have come close to them. Very few people have touched these things. Some things in space have never been touched. People have not even gotten close to them.
A black hole is one of those things. It is probably the most unusual thing in space. Black holes do not have an outside layer. Instead, black holes cause dust, stars and other things in space to fall into them. Black holes pull these things into them. The gravity in a black hole is strong. It sucks these things into them. These things are trapped. Nothing can leave. It is similar to quicksand. If you step in quicksand, it will pull you in to the ground. Black holes do the same thing.
Black holes are round, but some are small and some are large. There are also some black holes that have a medium size. The very large black holes are heavier than the sun. Some are even ten times heavier than the sun. The only way to destroy a black hole would be for an explosion to happen. This explosion would have to be caused by the universe. Astronauts must be careful in space. If they got trapped in a black hole, they would die quickly.
