While excitedly discussing astronomy facts, they receive an alert that a heavy object is pulling the ship off course. Observing Orion’s Belt shifting, Ava explains gravitational lensing and suspects a black hole. The computer confirmation details its mass and distance, forcing Maya and Reyhaan to confront the danger ahead.","There's a Hole in my Galaxy  \nAuthor: Ananya Dasgupta  \nIllustrator: Chaaya Prabhat  \nEnglish Science  \nThere's a Hole in my Galaxy  \nThere's a Hole in my Galaxy (English), written by Ananya Dasgupta, illustrated by Chaaya Prabhat, supported by CISCO, published by Pratham Books (© Pratham Books,2018) under a CC BY 4.0 license, first released on StoryWeaver.

But she is not allowed  \nto use it. Not without a grown-up.  \nAva really wants to see Pluto . She is Maya’s best friend and loves everything about space and astronomy. She wants Maya to fly her to Pluto .  \n“Please,” says Ava .  \n“Please, please .”  \n“My parents will be angry,”  \nMaya protests .  \n“They’re out for the weekend, and it’s not that far to Pluto . We’ll be back before your parents return,”promises Ava .  \nMaya reluctantly agrees . Her brother Reyhaan tags along.  \nThe three friends soar off from Earth on a hot summer night. Ava bounces with excitement.  \nAva starts reeling off facts about the Solar System.“Do you know that one day the sun will die?” asks Ava.  \n“You say the strangest things, Ava. How can the sun die?” asks Reyhaan.  \n“The sun gets its energy by burning hydrogen to produce helium. Slowly, all its hydrogen will get used up. Probably in five billion years,” says Ava.  \nAva tells Reyhaan that when a star the size of the sun dies, it becomes a white dwarf. When a star bigger than the sun dies, it becomes a black hole.  \nSuddenly, there is a loud beeping.  \n‘ALERT! ALERT! HEAVY OBJECT PULLING SHIP OFF COURSE,’ says the computer.  \nThe friends stare at the screen.“But I can’t see anything,” says Reyhaan.  \n“No, look,” says Maya.“The stars in Orion’s Belt are no longer in a straight line.”  \nAva gulps.“I...I...I think we are near a black hole. The gravitational field of the black hole is bending the light of the stars near it, like a lens bends light that passes through it.”  \n‘CONFIRMATION . BLACK HOLE TWICE AS HEAVY AS THE SUN . MOVING AT THE  \nSPEED OF THE SHIP . BLACK HOLE EVENT HORIZON 5 KILOMETRES AWAY .’  \n“BLACK HOLE?” Maya and Reyhaan ask together.","cbCaibNjVtWKLKrH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibNjVtWKLKrH","pdf",6428919,28,"English","en",105,"# There's a Hole in my Galaxy\n## Rocket trip to Pluto\n## Astronomy talk and solar system facts\n## Alert: heavy object off course\n## Orion’s Belt shifts and black hole confirmation","[{\"question\":\"Why does Maya agree to fly to Pluto?\",\"answer\":\"Ava promises they will be back before Maya’s parents return, and Maya reluctantly agrees.
