the star's demise
They material- in the
squeezed core is now incred-
ibly dense. One [teaspoonful
weighs a billioni tons. The
pull of gravity oh the surface
of this dense plug of matter is
inconceivably great; in fact,
gravity is so strong that
nothing can escape froth that
squeezed star, Not even a ray
of light can get away Since
no rays of bght can get out.
the , star is: invisible. It has
become a black hole in space.
This is the meianing of the
black hole: It is an enormous-
ly compressed object whose
gravity is so powerful that
nothing! can escape. Every-
thing inside the black hole is
trapped there forever Once a
black hole forms, it will cap-
ture anything that falls into it.
Black holes are Insatiable As
they capture more matter, the

sun is one of these stars: it

from countless stirs that ex

planets also contain
tms debris, and the earth is
composed almost entirely of
it. More important, all life on
earth, includi^d man. is •

stars, in turn, condensed put

been enrichedjby debris from
still earlier stellar explosions

astronomy traces the mate-
rial substance - of the earth
and its inhabitants back
through time to the pure ra-
diant energy, of the moment

planets circ e around some,
basking in their rays. In one
part-of the heavens, a cloud
forms and grows denser;

more powerful, and they cap-

What would happen to an
astronaut whq ■ entered ; a
black hole in a spaceship? He
would be torn into little
pieces. If he entered the
black hole feet-first, his feet
would feel a stronger pull of
gravity than hisihead, and. as
he crossed the boundary of
the black hole, his head and
feet would separate from the
• rest of his body, A fraction of
a second after le entered the
black hole, he would be
completely disrnembered.
| When, a star: explodes and -
forms a black hole at its cen-
ter, the outer layers are
dispersed to space What
happens to them? The an-
swer has a great deal to do
with the fact that we exist. In
space, the materials from the
