Mysterious Black Holes

by Elena Ioli

This little book describes the past, present and future of black holes through a funny and engaging story involving Grandpa Louie, his two grandchildren and two of their friends. 

During a beautiful sunny day on the beach, the children play, swim, enjoy their time, and ask a lot of questions to Grandpa Louie, a retired astronomy professor. Who better than him to tell all the secrets of black holes to a group of curious children? Who discovered them? What do "black holes" mean? Are there different types of black holes? How does a black hole form? What is his fate? At the end, we also bring up the subject of parallel universes, which could exist beyond the horizon of a black hole.
