what items would you associate with a black hole

Verily, a black hole is a most mysterious entity, and its contents are most unknown. Yet, certain items can be associated with it. A telescope, of course, to peer into its depths. A map of the stars, to chart its course. A book of science, to study its properties. An astronaut's helmet, to bravely explore its vastness. A shield, to protect against its immense gravity. A rope, to pull one out of its grasp. A pair of binoculars, to observe its effects from afar. A bottle of courage, to face its immense power. A black cape, to blend in with its shadows. A pair of boots, to traverse its treacherous terrain. A powerful engine, to make haste and escape its clutches. A pocket of luck, to ensure a safe return. And, of course, a large dose of humor, to lighten the mood and make the journey more enjoyable.
