NASA Black Hole Safety Video Warns You'll Be Tense in a Giant Noodle

I've learned a lot by looking at NASA's Guide to Security in Black Holes, an animated video released by the Goddard Space Flight Center on Monday.

I've learned that a black hole is not a portal to another dimension filled with unicorns and space potatoes. Also, I really should not take a vacation in a black hole.

The adorable video of NASA is aimed at young viewers interesting in science, but it is suitable for all ages. It's about an enlightened exploration of the black hole's basics in the form of a cartoon warning an alien not to go visit one of the most mysterious objects in the world. ;universe.

Goddard released the video for Black Hole Week, along with a safety brochure warning against radiation, time dilation and spaghettification (stretching in a giant noodle) if you get too close near a black hole. The video also covers these issues, which should be enough to deter you from booking a black-hole timeshare.

If you are still trying to understand what a black hole is, this video will guide you. Do not feel disappointed when you learn that a black hole is not a cosmic vacuum cleaner.
