Have you ever wanted to adopt your very own black hole? Well, now you can, with this wonderful baby black hole available on Etsy!
I never knew a black hole could be this cute – and it comes with its very own adoption certificate, just to make sure you can prove it’s legit.
Beware though, as you need to remember to wearing the correct protective gear to handle it.
I just love finding stuff like this.
The baby black hole listing page details the following information, just so you can have that extra peace of mind about your baby black hole a) not harming postal workers and b) being safe for children and pets.
For health and safety reasons, your black hole will be dispatched in a special box. The container is designed to protect both you and any unsuspecting postal workers who may come in contact with this astronomical anomaly during transportation. Shipping is relatively hazardless given the black hole’s small size (1 inch in diameter), but please do not place your black hole near any significant mass.
Each black hole is formed from hypo-allergenic polyfil and soft man made yarn, within a pet and smoke-free environment. As well as its protective container, it comes with a super cute adoption certificate that you can use to personalise your gift or simply bring a smile to your loved one’s face (see last listing photograph). Surface cleaning only (whilst wearing the correct protective equipment) is recommended to keep it in tip top condition.
This is a collectible piece and has not been tested by an authorised company to certify child safety. Please use your personal judgment when purchasing for anyone under the age of 12. Please do not allow small children to approach its event horizon unsupervised. As gravitational collapse may occur spontaneously, your black hole may differ slightly from that shown in the listing photos – but it will be just as lovely!
I’m really, REALLY tempted to get this as a gift for someone – aren’t you? I mean, just lookit that face!
