Black Holes and Exotic Space Objects

Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs, Space and Time

Those not into astronomy may not have heard of Neutron stars or White Dwarfs (stars), but they are some of the exotic objects in the sky. We cannot see them due to size and distance, but they are visible to radio telescopes.

Black holes are much more common in talk that probably many ordinary folk have heard of them, although few probably know what they are.

Space and time we have all heard of and are aware of. However the relationship of space and time is something for the scientists to pour their brains over. Gravity fits solidly in the picture of those two concepts, for want of a better term.

Here is a brief video representing these not so familiar objects and concepts to the average person.
