I swam over to the mansion on the island. Thunder ran through my ears as I climb the wall. I jumped into the window to loud. I stood still in the silence, waiting to be caught. I tiptoed over to the drawer. I opened wanting to see the treasure. WHAT! It was just Orange Pyjamas? My crew said that there was treasure!“Could there be something powerful about the Pyjamas?” I thought. I took them just in case. Holding the Pyjamas made me feel powerful. Maybe it was because it was orange. I put it in my bag and ran.

In my the room I wait. Waiting for the letter. It will decide my future. I hope I get it. Not getting it would be torture. I take out my guitar and make a tune. The tune makes me tired I watch everything became blurry and dark. I wake to see my guitar put away and my dinner on the table but no letter. I walk over to eat my dinner. “Am I not in?” I wonder aloud. Right then I heard a knock on the door. I ran down the companionway. I open the door to notice a letter.

I walked down the street with my sunglasses keeping me a secret. No one knew who I was and I was happy like that. I’m new here, people don’t know who I used to be and I don’t want them to. Suddenly I saw a sparkly necklace in the corner of my eye, I wanted it I needed it. It was in a girl’s pocket, I wanted it I needed it. She walked into cafe, I followed her. There was a person in a black coat, the girl must be trading the necklace. “I got what you wanted” She said…

Introduction

Imagine going into space then finding yourself in space light is turning into darkness, everything is moving to this one spot. You wonder, “What is this? Why is this happening?” Well it a black hole and it won’t resist the urge to suck you up!

What’s a Black Hole

A Black Hole is like a gigantic vacuum cleaner in space that feeds off dead energy from stars. It can suck up planets, stars, and even whole solar system.

The gravity in a black hole is of the chart, that is why it sucks up anything that gets to close. The reason that it’s black is because it can suck up light.

How to detect a Black Hole

The first way to find them is by their gravitational influence – the gravity might be little different than usual. For example, if stars are all in one part circling around one spot like how the planets circle around the sun, that’s how to know if a black hole is there.

The other way to find a black hole is by observing what is going into the black hole. As matter goes in, it makes a circle around the black hole and it gets very hot. Some of the energy is turned into light, which we can see.

What happens if a Black Hole gets into our solar system

“It is more likely that the Earth will get swallowed by a black hole than, say, winning the lottery ten times in a row, but less likely than being struck by lightning” (spaceanswers.com). That’s good because if a black hole found itself in our solar system it would rip us apart. First comets will come to Earth and other planets. But that would be the only thing seem weird at first because as the black hole comes into our solar system it would be invisible for us except for a slight gravitational pulls on distant stars.

Conclusion

Black Holes are dangerous “vacuum cleaners” in space that are hard to find. People who know the two ways of how to find them are lucky because if one came into our solar system it would rip the earth apart. Thought this was cool, go learn some more!
