What Are Black Holes? Black holes are the result of an explosion of a star that is at least 10-15 times the size of our sun. The exploded starts leaves huge burnt-out stellar remains. Eventually, it collapses within itself and it loses all of its volume, and gains infinite density. When the density becomes larger, light rays from the star wrap around it. Slowly, the gravitational pull of the black hole increases to huge amounts, so huge, that even light cannot escape it. They are called black holes because no light is emitted from them.
Black holes are very hard to see from Earth, as they are only 10 to 15 kilometres wide. This is why we chose to include black holes on the 7 Wonders of the Universe Tour. Scientists on the Earth are still yet to see a black hole, and we are giving ordinary people the opportunity to view this amazing space phenomenon. This puts our tourists one step ahead of astronomers who have spent their entire lives studying space. Unfortunetly, the black hole will have to be viewed from about 40 astronomical units away (about the distance between the Sun and Pluto). This is because we do not want our cruisers to enter the event horizaon of the black hole, which would result in our cruisers getting stuck in the black hole.
Our customers will want to view a black hole because of the interest in them. Many science fiction movies feature black holes, so they are very popular with science fiction fans. As mentioned, scientists are still yet to observe a black hole, so with this tour, they will get an opprotunity to see one of the most intriguing things in the universe.
