Videos About Black Holes for Teens

If you have a middle school or high school student who is interested in astronomy, I have a few videos about black holes for teens that you might want to share with him.

These videos are more in depth than the ones for kids I shared with you last week. They use more advanced vocabulary, discuss numbers and equations, and give detailed information.
