Use this presentation as a basis to help you answer common questions asked by the public:

  • What happens to a spaceship that falls into a black hole?
  • Will the black holes in our Galaxy eventually suck up everything in it,  like a cosmic vacuum cleaner?
  • What would happen to Earth if the Sun was replaced by a black hole of the same mass?
  • If we can't see black holes, how do we know they are there?


Use with activities from the  "Black Hole Survival ToolKit".
