Correct Transcript:

This simulation shows what you might see if you are orbiting a black hole. The light and position of background stars around the hole are distorted by its gravity and they seem to spin around. On the right, the constellation Orion appears to approach the event horizon the boundary from which nothing can escape. Orion stars look like they become separated and get spun around. Once the hole has passed by Orion reappears on the left and looks normal again. Users can also experiment with different scenarios. This is what you might see if you were traveling towards a black hole with rocket engines slowing your descend. Another simulation mimics free fall into a hole. In the middle, the light of the entire universe appears to be concentrated in a bright ring.

Printed "displays", the speaker says "shows"

Printed "on", the speaker says "by"

Explanation: Listen for "Once the hole has passed by". On the page it shows "on" not the audio word. The words start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "difficult", the speaker says "different"

Explanation: You will hear "Users can also experiment with different". You see "difficult" written, not the audio word. Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the whole word.
