A black hole is like a super-dense sponge in the universe. It’s made of stuff that was squished into an incredibly small space, so much, it pulls everything around it in, even light. Imagine squeezing your whole room into one tiny corner, and then giving it superpowers.
Examples
- Imagine a giant marshmallow that’s been squished into the size of a marble
- If you could walk into a black hole, your feet would be pulled in first
