Page 1A star was born. Big and bright. It burned for millions of years. Hot and powerful. Then something changed. The star ran out of fuel. It began to collapse.
Page 2The star kept collapsing. Smaller and smaller. Tighter and tighter. Squeezed into the tiniest point imaginable. Smaller than a grain of sand. Smaller than you can ever picture.
Page 3This tiny point was now a black hole. Invisible. No light escapes it. Not even a speck. Not even a beam. Nothing. It has a powerful pull of gravity.
