Editor's Picks:

- Here you will find descriptions and MPEG movies that take you on trips to black holes and neutron stars. These movies are scientifically accurate computer animations using Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

- A very basic web site on the geometry of black holes and what they would theoretically look like in space time.
- Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull
- Laying your hands on a black hole is hard (and dangerous) to do, but there are ways to understand these objects and avoid the pain of dimension-bending.
- Observational evidence of black holes from Cambridge.
- A good list of FAQ questions with detailed answers.
- This is a website that describes the geometry of a black hole and what would happen if one were to fall into one.
- A service of the High-Energy Astrophysics Learning Center. A nice introduction to black holes. Intended for ages 14 and up.
- Educational site on the Birmingham Uni XMM website.
- A book outlining the Yilmaz refinement of Einstein's theory which eliminates black holes and the big bang.
- an illustrated introductory guide to relativity
- What are black holes? Do they really exist? How can we find them?
- From the University of Illinois. Educational sequence suitable for high school students.
- Elementary information about black holes, including how they are observed, what happens to particles entering one, and a description of their close relatives, neutron stars.
- Provides information on black holes.
- a brief overview of black holes - the maths that allows and describes them, their formation, and their weird properties.
- An interactive journey into a black hole.
- By putting a black hole into a familiar environment like a desk, one may experience what `curvature of space' means in a new way, understanding the cosmological effects of light bending and gravitational lenses from this playground.
