Lesson Topic
Black hole concepts and terminology
Lesson Outline
Bobby was eager to get going with his black hole work, so I covered some concepts and terminology in today's class. We discussed the evolution of massive stars and the ensuing supernova explosion. The outer layers of the star form the 'supernova remnant', while the inner core collapses into a black hole. The gravitational force of a black hole is extremely strong, in fact, not even light can escape if it 'falls into' the black hole.

Lesson Comments
Bobby was quite tired today, and his eyes were bothering him. So after a shorter formal class, we sat at a computer and browsed through some astronomy games on a NASA website. Amongst them was one that involved asteroids, comets, and extinction events. All in all, I think Bobby learned a lot, and did very well despite his tiredness.
