1. A black hole is formed when a star is out of nuclear fuel
which it needs to exist. It grows smaller and smaller until it
collapses under its own weight. 2. While most stars end up as
white dwarfs or neutron stars, black holes are the last
evolutionary stage in the lifetimes of enormous stars that had
been at least 10 or 15 times as massive as our own sun. 3. Our
Sun won’t and cannot become a black hole. Only stars with much
more mass than the Sun can become a black hole. 4. If someone
fell into a black hole their feet would be pulled in faster than
their head. They would be stretched like a piece of spaghetti.
5. According to Einstein's theories of relativity, nothing can
travel faster than the speed of light. Therefore once something

emits no light due to its extremely powerful gravitational pull.
7. Planets, light, and other matter must pass close to a black
hole in order to be pulled into its grasp. 8. Black holes are
