Imagine you have a trampoline, and it's super strong. If you jump on it really hard, the middle gets all squished together, that's like a black hole. Inside it, everything is packed so tightly that nothing can escape, not even light. Scientists think there might be something called a singularity in the very center.
Examples
- A black hole is like a cosmic vacuum cleaner that swallows everything nearby
- Stars can turn into black holes when they explode in a supernova
- If you fell into a black hole, you’d be stretched out like spaghetti
