No black hole has ever been seen by anyone. The nature of a black hole actually prevents it from being seen. A black hole is the ultimate gravity well, and nothing that crosses the event horizon can escape. Not even light can get out. The only way a black hole can be "seen" is indirectly as it creates what is called gravity lensing. Light from objects "behnid" the black hole is "bent" around it, and it is this phenomenon that allows a black hole to be "seen" by observers.

∙ 12y agoNo telescope has seen a black hole. You just can't see them. You can see the absence of material in an area to indicate a black hole, but you (or a telescope) cannot see one. this is because you never see it because light can't escape from it. Telescopes rely on light (gamma, X-ray, uv, infrared) to detect things and if light doesn't come back to the telescope the telescope doesn't know anythings there

∙ 12y agoSeveral objects that we NOW know to be black holes -- beginning with the Milky Way -- have been "detected" for a long time. The first object that was universally accepted as a black hole was an x-ray source in the constellation Cygnus, called Cygnus X-1. The first paper hypothesizing it was a black hole was in 1971, and by 1973 all alternative explanations were, for the most part, deemed not viable options.

Can you see a video of the black hole in space?
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.
Can you see a black hole when you are on eath?
You cannot see a black hole when you are on Earth, unless a black hole were to absorb Earth, which even then, you would see it in a split-second before it would engulf you
What are whirlpools in space?
Whirlpools in space are black holes. (black holes are hole that you can't see any nothing can escape not even light!) Fact: The first black hole ever found was founded in 1968.
What comes after black holes?
After the black hole dies out, (see When do black holes die and/or How does a black hole get smaller) it will become just a vacuum.
If nothing can escape a black hole in outer space how can you see photos of a black hole?
The answer is, you cannot see photos of a black hole. You are quite right; not even light can escape a black hole's incredible gravity, so all black holes are completely invisible. It is possible, however, to see long trails of matter that is being pulled into a black hole. The way we detect black holes from earth, however, is by picking up the gamma rays that they emit.
How can you say there is a black hole?
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)

How can we see black holes?
You can't see a black hole.
Can we see black holes?
You can't see a black hole.

What is black that you can't see in it?
A black hole
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.
How can you see a black hole?
You cannot see a black hole directly. Which is probably just as well, since if you were close enough to see it, you would already be dead and fried by the radiation surrounding it. We can DETECT a black hole by that very radiation - the radiation generated as matter is accelerated to nearly the speed of light as it falls into the black hole. In fact, the first black hole ever identified, Cygus X-1, was detected by being a bright X-ray source with no visible star to account for it.
is a black hole a hole or not a hole?
It is a hole because it brings things inside of it, but it's all black so you can't see anything.
What are whirlpools in space?
Whirlpools in space are black holes. (black holes are hole that you can't see any nothing can escape not even light!) Fact: The first black hole ever found was founded in 1968.
Where do you find garentiena's orb?
when you first see giratina and it goes into the black hole go behind the hole and there is a poke-ball. click on it and you get giratinas orb!
How do you see a black hole?
Technically, you can't "see" a black hole, since no light can escape from it, therefore the light cannot reach your eyes.
