A Black Hole Is Not a Hole

A Black Hole Is Not a Hole stretches readers' minds around one of astronomy's strangest phenomena, explaining what black holes are, how they form, and how scientists actually find something that emits no light. This updated edition adds a new chapter on the first-ever photograph of a black hole, pairing playful text with gorgeous space paintings and real telescope images. This is an excellent choice for students because it makes a genuinely difficult scientific concept accessible without oversimplifying the science behind it.
