A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because the matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying because no light can get out, people can’t see black holes.

They are invisible. A space telescope with special tools can help to find black holes. Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think that the smallest black holes are as small as just an atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Scientists use satellites and telescopes that are traveling in space to learn more about black holes. A back hole can not be seen because strong gravity pulls all of the light into a hole into the middle of the black hole.
