This is a computer generated picture of what a black hole would look like. As you can see there is a circle of light surrounding it. This is created because black holes have such immense gravity, that it literally sucks light into it. This makes it distorted and bent. Because of this bent light you will see unusual distortions. An interesting fact is that black holes are believed to be the densest state of matter. The background of the computer generated black hole was taken by the 2MASS infrared sky survey, However no one has ever seen what a black hole looks like when entering, this is because you get torn to pieces because of the gravity it has. Another interesting fact is that black holes are worm holes, meaning they lead to somewhere else in space. If learn how to go through these black holes and survive, we could in the future create space travel, and might even see a new organism.
Good Post! I found it interesting how it sucks in light due to the immense gravitational force that it emits. It's also cool how it could help us with space travel if we learn more about it.
