The extent of gravity near a black hole is terriifically huge - so huge that even particles of light are drawn into it. If the light particles are drawn into the black hole, they obviously cannot radiate outward so that we could see them.

How do you know when there is a black hole?

black holes are invisible because its gravitational pull is so strong even light cant escape from it. so what scientists do is they look at things around the black hole. if there is a black hold near a planet or star that objects orbit will be altered and it will be heating up from the friction of going into the hole.


Is a black hole black because light cannot escape it and when you look into space where looking at light back in time?

Yes your indeed correct


What does the light in a black hole look like?

The light looks like a huge cross in space! It's cool!


How did black holes get its name?

black hole got it's name because when look at a black hole, you only see black. also if you drop an item in the black hole the item is gone because there is a hole in there. so that's how black hole get's its name


Why does a key hole look black?

The black color of a keyhole is due to the absence of light entering it. Light is absorbed or scattered by the materials surrounding the keyhole, making it appear dark in contrast. Additionally, the inside of the keyhole may be painted black to reduce reflection or to provide a uniform appearance.


What does it look like to go near a black hole?

You might think it would look amazing and scary! But... no. Black holes suck in light so it is not visible.


Is there a space probe in the black hole?

Well first of all there is more than one black hole in our galaxy. Second there would be no point of putting a probe in a black hole because: 1) no light can enter past the event horizon (you might want to look that up) therefore you can not see what is actually inside a black hole. 2) our closest known black hole is 150 light years away. So no there is no probe in any black hole. I hope this was some help to you.


Will light falling into a black hole accelerate Why or why not?

It would not accelerate because it does not go straight in.As it turns out ,nothing does.Everything that goes in spirals in , like water going down a drain. If space time is the tub or sink ,the black hole is the drain and the matter (in this case light)is the water,the water spirales in.It would look to an outside observer like the light is turning red. This is because it decelerates.If light sped up it would be able to escape the black hole and we would see the black hole and it would not be a black hole.


How does black hole eat time?

it's called "time dilation" if you look into relativity, Einstein describes the constant of the universe being the speed of light. Since a black hole is infinte in gravity, the black hole sucks in the light. So it in a since changes the constant that constrains time and so to speak "eat's time!"


What does a star look like when it dies?

it looks like on tv when a black hole blows up but with a bright light


What does a white hole look like and how does it differ from a black hole in terms of appearance and characteristics?

A white hole is a theoretical concept in astrophysics that is the opposite of a black hole. While a black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, a white hole is a hypothetical region where matter and light can only escape and nothing can enter. In terms of appearance, a white hole would appear as a bright, glowing object emitting energy and matter, in contrast to the dark, invisible nature of a black hole.


How big is the middle of the Milky Way?

The middle of the milky way is a black hole and a black hole cannot be made up as matter. The middle of the milky way has no size, but the black hole sucks the light making it look big in pictures. The actual size is nothing.
