It's strange, how we may be born from the heart of a star, yet we can be eaten up by the remains of a dead star, the Black Hole.

"Black holes possess gravitational fields so strong that nothing can escape them, not even light. They normally form when the remains of a dead star collapse under their own gravity, squeezing their mass together. Although black holes can't be seen, astronomers infer their existence by the gravitational effects they have on gas and stars around them."
