There are things bigger than shopping on 'Black Friday'; for example, the endless space and its black holes! This is stated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) one day after 'Black Friday' in the United States. NASA has released astonishing images of these space phenomena to prove this statement and to raise awareness about black holes. 'Black Friday' is the day after the Thanksgiving holiday when stores in the U.S. sell their goods at lower prices. Therefore, long lines form in front of large chain stores in the U.S. on Thursday evening. Black holes are regions in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape being swallowed. This extraordinary gravitational force is due to the compression of a huge amount of matter into a small space. Such a factor could result from the death of a star. In one of NASA's tweets accompanying these images, it is stated: People are preparing for 'Black Friday' shopping, but at NASA, scientists may have something better: Black Hole Friday!
