Ava said...: Thats so cool! I thought that black holes are destroyers but i never knew that they could make their own galaxy. I think thats amazing!; December 7, 2009 at 8:46 AM
Declan said...: When you think about all these things in space and think they're so awesome, then you realize that they're just the physics of our world. They are, very interesting.; December 7, 2009 at 9:29 AM
Elijah said...: I found this article really interesting, because we used to think that black holes were just engines of destruction, so to learn that they can actually MAKE stars instead of just destroying them is mind blowing. It is also very interesting, because black holes are created by stars. When the star dies it collapses into itself creating a black hole, thankfully for a star to produce a black hole it has to at least be 20 times the size of our sun.; December 8, 2009 at 6:15 PM
