First the basics. A black hole is a region in space where the pulling force of gravity is so strong that light is not able to escape. Because of this, black holes are invisible. Only telescopes with special instruments can help find them.

Happy Birthday #NASA. 60 has never looked better!🎉🎂
From the beginning, Goddard has worked to support our agency’s work of uncovering the universe 🌃.
Here are a few ways Goddard has helped along the way. #NASA60th
It started with Dr. Robert Goddard! In 1926, he successfully tested the first rocket using liquid fuel 🚀🚀. Today he’s known as the “Father of Modern Rocketry.” #NASA60th go.nasa.gov/2y5sAam
To honor his discovery, the Goddard Space Flight Center was named after him. Our campus became #NASA’s first space flight center in 1959. #NASA60th
