By putting a black hole into a familiar environment like a desk, one may experience what `curvature of space' means in a new way, understanding the cosmological effects of light bending and gravitational lenses from this playground.

From the University of Illinois. Educational sequence suitable for high school students.

A book outlining the Yilmaz refinement of Einstein's theory which eliminates black holes and the big bang.

Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull

A one hour lecture given to senior liberal arts students on the concepts surrounding black holes

Basic ideas and descriptions of what black holes are and if white holes exist.

Lecture notes for a course on Black Holes given at Cambridge. The course covers some of the developments in Black Hole physics of the 1960s and 1970s.

Observational evidence of black holes from Cambridge.

Laying your hands on a black hole is hard (and dangerous) to do, but there are ways to understand these objects and avoid the pain of dimension-bending.

Elementary information about black holes, including how they are observed, what happens to particles entering one, and a description of their close relatives, neutron stars.

What are black holes? Do they really exist? How can we find them?

A service of the High-Energy Astrophysics Learning Center. A nice introduction to black holes. Intended for ages 14 and up.

an illustrated introductory guide to relativity

a brief overview of black holes - the maths that allows and describes them, their formation, and their weird properties.

Here you will find descriptions and MPEG movies that take you on trips to black holes and neutron stars. These movies are scientifically accurate computer animations using Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
