Our Galaxy

 

Its immensity is hard to imagine ourselves and when we are faced with the problem of helping our children we can be stuck.

 

There's a black hole in the centre of our Milky Way which almost defies description. Try here. Includes a useful list of related topics. 

Black holes are one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the universe. A black hole is where gravity has become so strong that nothing around it can escape, not even light. The structure or make-up of a black hole is so compact or dense, that the force of gravity is too strong for even light to escape.

 

Start by taking them outside at night and let them marvel at the Milky Way.

 

 

Perhaps show them our galaxy in the warmth of indoors.
