What you'll learn

what an event horizon is, why a black hole is not seen like a star, and how the bright disk around it is different

Elena wants to see a black hole through the telescope. Mateo says light cannot leave after the event horizon, a hot disk can shine nearby, and a black hole is not a vacuum cleaner.
