Anatomy of a Black Hole (Flash)

Black holes sound like a phenomenal space phenomenon, but what do we really know about them? Personally after reflecting on it, I realized I just knew that they were really powerful and could suck up light.

Kind of lame.

The most interesting points for me were what might happen if you entered a black hole and the separate parts of the black hole. I thought the term “accretion disk” was pretty cool. But then again I’m a pretty nerdy guy.

So check out this wonderful, interactive flash video of the Anatomy of a Black Hole
