Black Holes Come in Many Colors According to Scientists Who Look at Them.
April 5, 2010
In the interest of using bizarre stuff to further our readers' knowledge whilst entertaining them, BizarreStuff has decided to post educational bizarre stuff now and again. This is the first in a most likely erratic series.
Black holes are formed when a massive star collapses from the force of its own gravity, resulting in a dense mass of matter whose gravity is so powerful that even light cannot escape. Hence, the name Black Hole. The gravitational force is so strong that if you were to fall into or be sucked into a black hole, your body would instantly be compacted to the size of a speck,a dust mote, i.e.,unbelievably small.
The Black Hole depicted above is mainly blue with a black hole in the center. But it is still called a black hole, possibly because a black hole sounds more mysterious and sinister than say a pale yellow hole.
