## Resource

Did you know there’s a “black hole” on Earth? It sounds like sci-fi, but it’s actually a real place! It’s called the Boiling Lake, and it’s in Dominica. This lake is so hot and full of bubbling water that it looks like a boiling, steaming black hole. No one really knows how deep it is because it’s too dangerous to measure. It’s both fascinating and terrifying—like something straight out of a movie! Just don’t get too close, or you might feel like you’re being pulled into another dimension!
