This image shows the same black hole cartoon character in three different animated poses. The character is a round black circle with a pair of thin arms on each side with balls for hands. They have two half-circle eyes, gray eyebrows, and a small blue line for a mouth. The first animation starts blank, and then the black hole “swipes” in from the left, waves, then disappears again. In the middle animation, the black hole rolls their eyes up to the right. Finally, in the last one, they pull their arms up to mimic a “hands on hips” pose while they mug the camera. There is text below each image with a couple of words or a phrase describing each pose.

This character is aloof, but it's ultimately friendly and willing to help people learn more about black holes.
