Title: Hey black hole! Show yourself!
Abstract: Imagine squeezing Earth really hard with your hands until it’s the size of a penny. Congratulations! You’ve just made a black hole! It’s tiny, but it’s still as heavy as the Earth. These mysterious objects were first introduced in Einstein's theory and were only discovered indirectly later through observations. In this SkyTalk, I’ll cover black holes of all sizes and explain why they’re so hard to find!
