About the black hole
A black hole is a region in space which have high gravity and even it can absorb the rays of light. Blackhole is so far from the earth and far from our solar system. It is discovered by the British astronomers Louise Webster and Paul Murdin at the Royal Greenwich Observatory and Thomas Bolton, a student at the University of Toronto, independently announced the discovery of a massive but invisible object in orbit around a blue star over 6,000 light-years away. Later, it was named “Blackhole”.

The High Frontier: The Birth of Self-Sustaining Space Outposts
WHEN SOPHIA Casanova was 10, her parents bought her a telescope, and she fell head over heels for all things space. She’d spend lazy summers in her hometown of Sydney, Australia, in the late 1990s revelling in the stars and watching the haunting phases of the serene, implacable Moon.

Have We Given Up on Earth?
I don't know about you, but I get worried when I see articles about missions into space—particularly those involving civilians. I have visions to apocalyptic movies like 2012 where all the things that can go wrong do go wrong in a cataclysmic fashion, and the only thing left to do is to board our space shuttles as we flee from a dying earth.

Chapter One: Red Velvet Lenny
"System engines have gone critical, sir." The feminine voice of the station's mainframe sounded above the groaning metal and flying sparks. Max Silver hissed in pain as he leaned on the guardrail of the catwalk, a wave of vertigo rushing over him when he looked down the endless shaft to the reactors. Red and gold emergency lights pulsed all around the metal chasm.

Path to the Stars - The Skyhook
You can also listen this article now! Getting into space is hard. Right now, it's like going up a mountain on a unicycle with a backpack full of explosives. Incredibly slow, you can't transport a lot of stuff, and you might die. A rocket needs to reach a velocity of about 40,000 kilometers an hour to escape from the earth. To get to that speed, rockets are mostly containers for fuel with a tiny tip of payload.

Us Among the Stars
Angelica, I’ve thought so many times about how different my life would be if you’d died just two hours earlier. If you died in our mother’s womb, you’d be something other than my dead sister. You’d be an almost, a never-born, a near-sibling.

Relic
2085/1/1 [Day 1 of Expedition Omega] Payload: 0 tons steel, 0 tons scrap electronics I cannot contain my excitement. As I write this I am in my bunk onboard W.U. Skimmer, a satellite whose purpose is to use cutting edge technology to recycle debris that was left over after the first Space Corp. race. There is valuable scrap out there just waiting to be mined, and I feel lucky. I barely made it on the roster for this expedition. There were a lot of qualified candidates, but Captain Devereux took a quiet interest in me. In the expedition briefing I got the impression that he chose me because he saw some potential.
