@LearningWithMsA It's a BIIIG concept to explain. Our Astronomer would be happy to answer your classes' question via Skype if that's easier.

@LearningWithMsA meaning the force of gravity closer to the black hole (what would have been inside the star) is much greater.

[HR MacMillan @AskAnAstronomer]

@LearningWithMsA But a spaceship can get much closer to the black hole than it could to the star because it is so much smaller.

[HR MacMillan @AskAnAstronomer]

@LearningWithMsA For example: a spaceship far away from the new black hole - the spaceship will feel less of a pull than before.

[HR MacMillan @AskAnAstronomer]

@LearningWithMsA But a black hole is far more dense, even if it is smaller in size.

[HR MacMillan @AskAnAstronomer]

@LearningWithMsA When a parent star forms a black hole it actually looses mass and this means that the force of gravity is less.

@woaksie They give you a Kp (how strong the geomagnetic storm is forecasted at) currently as well as broadcast it for the next few days.
