Mainly because you can't SEE THEM !

If they exist, they can only be detected by their gravitational effects on other nearby objects, or by the
radiation from matter falling into them. In either case, their properties, as well as their very existence,
can only be inferred indirectly, and can never be directly observed. If they exist.

Black holes are difficult to locate because they?

they don't give of light but can be spotted by observing its gravity's affects.


Why cant you see black holes from earth?

Black holes emit so very little radiation they are hard to see. Many black holes lie at the center of galaxies and there they are hidden by stars and dust.


How many black holes were in this galixy?

Black holes are a bit hard to detect, so I am pretty sure that not all black holes in this galaxy are known - and I suspect there is not even a decent estimate. But you can expect there to be several.


Why was it so hard to prove black holes exist?

It was to dark to to see


Black holes where can you find them?

The nearest know black hole is at a distance of several thousand light-years. There are probably black holes closer by, but they are hard to detect, if they don't happen to be part of a close binary star system.The nearest know black hole is at a distance of several thousand light-years.

Are black holes invisable?

Yes and no. It is rather hard to explain, because black holes are so dark and black that no living creature can see them, which in a sense makes them invisible, but you can also see where a black hole is because it sucks in light, too, so that would also, in a sense make it visible, but the my main answer would be, no black holes are not invisible.


Why are black holes difficult to locate?

Because they give off absolutely no light and no radiation. The only radiation is X-Rays from the stars being sucked in.


What were black holes before they turned into black holes?

stellar black holes were stars (these are large)primordial black holes were pieces of the big bang (these are microscopic)
