It's , but for us, it's the third annual . Today, we'll post pics & info about black holes.

What Is a Black Hole?

A black hole is a region in space where the pulling force of gravity is so strong that light is not able to escape. The strong gravity occurs because matter has been pressed into a tiny space. This compression can take place at the end of a star's life. Some black holes are a result of dying stars.

Because no light can escape, black holes are invisible. However, space telescopes with special instruments can help find black holes. They can observe the behavior of material and stars that are very close to black holes.

Pictured here is an artist's drawing a black hole named Cygnus X-1. It formed when a large star caved in. This black hole pulls matter from blue star beside it.

Just 24 hours after receiving confirmation that the New Horizons spacecraft survived its encounter with the Pluto system, NASA released the first close-up view of Pluto’s surface.

After a decade-long journey through our solar system, our New Horizons spacecraft made its closest approach to Pluto today, about 7,750 miles above the surface -- roughly the same distance from New York to Mumbai, India - making it the first-ever space mission to explore a world so far from Earth.

This latest image from New Horizons allows us to better see the four dark spots on the side of Pluto that always faces its largest moon, Charon. These spots have piqued are interest because they look to be similar size and evenly spaced apart. Learn more: http://go.nasa.gov/1Sg4ISt Only 3 days until Tuesday’s
