Galaxies and Black Holes — The Mysteries of the Universe Picture Book
What makes galaxies and black holes so fascinating?
A galaxy holding hundreds of billions of stars and a black hole that not even light can escape are the most mysterious things in the universe. They stretch a child's imagination all the way to the edge of space.
Nature and science facts about galaxies and black holes
A galaxy is a huge collection of tens to hundreds of billions of stars and gas bound together by gravity. There are about 2 trillion galaxies in the universe, and our galaxy (the Milky Way) is a barred spiral galaxy. A black hole is an object whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape; it forms when a giant star reaches the end of its life, explodes, and its core is compressed.

Parent guide — extending into observation and hands-on play
In a dark room, look at photos and videos of the Milky Way together and draw a swirl (a spiral galaxy). For a black hole, comparing it to "a vacuum cleaner that even sucks in light" helps a child understand it easily.
