A caption reads "TVO Kids presents."

An animation shows the solar system.

A theme song plays I LIVE ON EARTH
I LOOK TO THE SKY
SO MUCH WONDER
FILLS MY MIND
WE ARE SPACE KIDS
SPACE KIDS.

A child says WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE?

(music plays)

A zoom in clip shows the universe.

A boy says DEEP IN THE CENTRE
OF OUR GALAXY,
SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS
AND INVISIBLE IS LURKING.
SOMETHING SO POWERFUL
THAT IT SWALLOWS UP
ENTIRE STARS!
NOTHING CAN ESCAPE IT,
NOT EVEN LIGHT!

A girl says BUT IF IT'S INVISIBLE,
HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S THERE?

The boy says ALBERT EINSTEIN WAS A SUPER
SMART SCIENTIST.
HE FIGURED OUT THAT ANYTHING
WITH MASS-
INCLUDING STARS AND PLANETS-
BENDS THE SHAPE OF SPACE.
THIS BEND IN SPACE IS
WHAT MAKES GRAVITY.
GRAVITY REDIRECTS THE PATHS
OF OBJECTS AND LIGHT
AS THEY TRAVEL THROUGH SPACE.

An animation recreates the concepts mentioned.

The girl says A BLACK HOLE IS A REGION WHERE
THE GRAVITY IS SO STRONG
THAT NOTHING CAN ESCAPE IT.

The boy says ANYTHING THAT COMES TOO CLOSE
GETS SWALLOWED UP
BY THE BLACK HOLE,
INCLUDING LIGHT.
ONLY DETECT A BLACK HOLE
BY LOOKING AT THE GAS AND DUST
SWIRLING AROUND THEM.
OR THEY COULD LOOK FOR
THE GRAVITATIONAL EFFECTS
OF BLACK HOLES ON THEIR
NEIGHBOURING STARS.
THEN, RECENTLY A TEAM OF 200
SCIENTISTS MADE HISTORY
BY FINALLY DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE

The girl says THEY CAPTURED THIS IMAGE
OF A BLACK HOLE!

A picture shows a black hole with a yellow and red glow.

The boy says THE SCIENTIST BEHIND
THIS BREAKTHROUGH IMAGE...
A 29 YEAR OLD COMPUTER
SCIENTIST NAMED KATIE BOUMAN.

A smiley emoji with heart-eyes pops up.

The girl says WAY TO GO KATIE!

The end credits roll.

The song plays I'M ON MY WAY,
ON MY WAY
TO OUTER SPACE.
WE ARE SPACE KIDS.
