John Bogie Baird was a very famous Scottish engineer and inventor of one of the first televisions. He demonstrated his working television on 26 January 1926. He also established colour television in 1928. His First attempt, “the televisor” was made out of odds and ends that he Could Find such as cardboard, a biCYCle lamp and string.

What is a Black Hole? Black holes are the strangest objects in the Universe. A black hole does not have a surface, like a planet or a star. Instead, it is a region of space where a matter has collapsed in on itself. This catastrophic collapse results in a massive amount of mass being concentrated in an incredibly small area. The gravitational pull of this region is so great that nothing can escape - not even light. Although we cannot see black holes, we know they exist from how they affect nearby dust, stars and galaxies. Many of them are surrounded by discs of material. Black holes come in many different sizes. Many of them are only a few times more massive than the Sun. These ‘stellar-mass black’ holes form…
