No one has ever seen a black hole; so how do we know of them? Well, scientist's measured to movements of planets and saw them all moving toward a force. Now, we believe that there is something in the center of the galaxy that is pulling planets and stars towards it. Scientist's measured that this force is strong enough to decease anything that comes in contact with it. We call this force a "Black Hole". Why is it called a BLACK hole? Well, it is so strong that not even light can escape it.

Why am *I* safe from black holes? Because the nearest one from my planet is 1600 light years away. I don't know if that means YOU are safe from black holes -- I don't know the distance between your planet and the nearest black hole -- but I know my safety is assured.

How does a black holes acquire greatest mass?

Most black holes are stellar mass black holes with masses comparable to those of large stars as they form from the collapse of massive stars. Scientists know of the existence of supermassive black holes that are millions to billions of times the mass of our sun and can be found in the centers of most galaxies. Scientists still do not know how these black holes become so massive.

Black holes could be dangerous to people if people were close to a black hole, but there are no black holes near the planet Earth (as far as we know) and the closest one is probably in the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which is about 80,000 light years from Earth, which is a safe distance.


How do tides affect black holes?

Given that tides are caused by gravity, and that black holes are a major SOURCE of gravity, it isn't clear that black holes would be affected at all by other gravitational sources. Of course, we can know nothing at all about whatever is inside the event horizon of a black hole.
