How do astronomers search for black holes and what are the challenges of learning about them?

There are two ways of finding black holes. They can look for the effects that their gravity has on nearby objects and they can look for X-rays emitted by matter about to fall into them. A major challenge is that black holes themselves do not emit any light, making them impossible to detect directly.

What do astronomers think that the areas around blackholes give off?
Astronomers think that the areas around black holes suck everything in like when a tub drains. But black holes are large amounts of matter that is packed into a small area.
Why do astronomers hypothesize that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of the milky way?
That's because they actually observed it.
What is the name of a sicentist that studies celestial bodys?
An astronomer is a scientist who studies celestial bodies (planets, stars, black holes, moons, nebulae, galaxies).
What were Stepen Hawking's challenges while researching black holes?
His health problems.
What are some of the challenges of learning about black holes?
As a matter of fact there is only one problem. We can't find out what goes on in a black hole because humans don't have a rocket, suit, or a camera that will not be destroyed when it's just getting a few miles close to it.
What kind of Astronomers study black holes?
specifically, "astronomers" that study black holes are called cosmologists.
Why do astronomers locate black holes?
Astronomers are constantly investigating and collecting information on any objects in space that have not yet been cataloged. In the course of doing this, they find and identify galaxies, nebulae, novas and, of course, black holes. They just "turn up" frequently as part of the never-ending search of the universe and the objects in it.
How do astronomers know the black hole exist?
Astronomers know because they have studied star patterns and placements and know when there has been a change between where there is a black hole and where there isn't one.
What is the thing astronomers have been able to proove that it exists?
Black Holes
Are black holes known?
Yes, black holes are known and regarded by many scientists, astronomers, and physicists.
Why do astronomers have difficulty studying the black hole?
Black holes do not emit light, so we cannot observe them directly
How do astronomers find the mass of a black hole?
By observing the movement of nearby objects.
How can astronomers tell what a distant object's temperature is?
blah blah black sheep
What do you call a scientist that studies outer space mostly black holes?
Astronomers
What do astronomers think that the areas around blackholes give off?
Astronomers think that the areas around black holes suck everything in like when a tub drains. But black holes are large amounts of matter that is packed into a small area.
Where is the black hole now?
Astronomers say that there are several, possibly many, black holes, all a long way from Earth.
What challenges did W.E.B. DuBois face?
