No. The gravitational field of a black hole is so great that electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum does not escape from them. Therefore, you couldn't directly see a black hole regardless of where you were in the universe.

You can't see the black hole but you can see its inflence on its environment. (You can see matter that is sucked into the black hole)

Not directly. If large amounts of matter is falling into the black hole it will heat up and glow brightly. You could also potentially see the distortion of light around the black hole, but you'd have to get pretty close to see that.

Dude it is black for a reason. You can not see the black hole itself, but you can see the black hole distorting light, eating stars, or it's gravitational pull.


Why can't you see light when you look at a black hole?

The extent of gravity near a black hole is terriifically huge - so huge that even particles of light are drawn into it. If the light particles are drawn into the black hole, they obviously cannot radiate outward so that we could see them.

How would the moon be affected if a supercollider were to create a black hole that sank to the center of the earth and devoured it?

I'm thinking that if you ignore the energy released, the resulting black hole would weigh about the same as the earth and the moon would continue to orbit unaffected. I'm curious to see what others think.


Is there anysites you couldd see the hole?

If you are talking about a black hole the answere is no. Not even light can ascape the force of gravity of a black hole, therefore you can't see the hole itself.
