Black holes are distant objects found usually in the center of galaxies; therefore they are studied by astronomers, using telescopes, just as all astronomical objects are studied. Of course, black holes are studied indirectly. They do not emit radiation (or not enough radiation to view; there is Hawking radiation) but they have a strong effect on other nearby objects, which can be observed.
