Black holes are like cosmic vacuums, but when they eat stars or gas, things get bright. Imagine a really hungry kid gobbling up candy, the mess and noise around them shine brightly too. A black hole’s food makes a glowing ring of light called an accretion disk, which shines like fireworks in space.
Examples
- The food a black hole eats makes a bright light that we can see from Earth.
- When something falls into a black hole, it leaves behind a shining trail of light.
