Why can't people see black holes?

Black holes don't emit any radiation (except for an insignificant amount of Hawking radiation). However, if matter falls onto a black hole, it will emit x-rays before it reaches the event horizon (the point of no return), as a result of an enormous acceleration.


Why are there no real pictures of black holes?

Back holes don't emit radiation*. Photography works by reacting a chemical-coated strip by the light emitted by an object, or photochemically noticing the light. Thus, direct photography of black holes is practically impossible.


How do micro black holes evaporate?

It's because: they emit such small amounts of thermal radiation. The radiation is energy, and energy is a form of mass.
