Layman's Black Holes

I saw this interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson on MSN's Cosmic Log posted yesterday, and just thought I would share it. Helps to understand black holes for people like me, who have a limited exposure to astronomy and concepts within.

Cosmic Log

I have seen him interviewed on other topics and he makes the science very accessable to people. Still have not forgiven him about Pluto though. We shall see what the future brings on that subject.

I would like to add that this interview is just a VERY brief overview. As for Pluto, it is ok with me, as long as there is consistency between their definition and other similar objects. Defining planets versus dwarf planets is not black and white.

The thread title is... evocative.
