Imagine a black hole as a giant vacuum cleaner in space. When stars or gas get too close, they get pulled in, but not all of it disappears! Some of it forms a glowing ring around the black hole called an accretion disk, which shines so bright it looks like the black hole is sparkling.
Examples
- A black hole is like a giant vacuum cleaner in space that sometimes glows as it eats up nearby stars.
