      Yes! Black holes exist all across our Universe, and they are sucking stars and everything into them that comes near! :O

      Luckily there isn’t a black hole anywhere near Earth, so we don’t need to worry. At least not for a few billion years, when we drift closer and closer…. 😉

      Yep – black holes exist – the effects of them have been measured quite closely. There’s thought to be a huge one at the centre of our galaxy (but nowhere near us!)

      Yes black holes exist, good answers from Liam and Matt. It’s difficult to learn much about them beyond how much the objects around them behave. It’s a very interesting part of science……and one that I know absolutely nothing about.
