    Good morning 10F and Dr Guppy‚ I will be speaking about an astronomical phenomenon called black holes. A black hole is an area of space-time. Rather‚ it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small region it is also the last evolutionary stage in the lifetimes of vast stars. This makes the black hole invisible to the rest of the universe‚ hence the word "black". A star‚ about 20 times the mass of the sun may produce a black hole at the end of its life. A black hole is formed by nuclear reactions

    that supernatural event. Backed by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity‚ along with Hubble’s discovery of an ever expanding universe‚ this particular theory is accepted by the majority of the scientific community. This theory made a huge impact on the scientific world and is an integral part of how the universe was formed as we know it today. The Big Bang model itself is a natural outcome of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity as applied to a homogeneous universe (WMAP).
