You can never see a black hole. Never. This is because the gravitational pull of the black hole is so strong that nothing, not even light can escape from it, therefore the light from a black hole would not be able to reach your eyes.
What you would see is a big black patch of distorted light in the middle of space.

∙ 11y agoThe gravity of a black hole (a mass singularity) is so great that even photons of light from inside the hole cannot escape. So a black hole would only be apparent by a lack of light in a region that is otherwise illuminated.
Astronomers detect black holes by the energy released outside the hole by the incredible acceleration of matter that is being drawn into it.

Why can't we prove that black holes truly exist?
Because they can't be seen because they have such a great mass that they don't let light out and can therefore not be seen.
If nobody has ever seen a black hole how do you know what they do?
People know what black holes can do because of the aftermath. Stars and planets have been completely destroyed.
Aren't Black Holes just hypothetical?
No. They appear to be real objects, and have been observed in various ways. Stars near the centers of galaxies as seen to move in ways that are possible only if they are rapidly orbiting black holes.
Can black holes dies?
Black holes do not die but they can evaporate.
Why are black holes round?
Black holes are round because they are formed from dead stars and white holes. As you can guess a star is a sphere and that is why black holes are round.
How are black holes most easily identifed?
Black holes do not emit light, so black holes can not be seen this way. But black holes emit X-rays, but stars are not hot enough to emit X-rays. When black holes suck up stars, energy goes to the black hole, and come out as X-rays.
What other object can be seen in the sky?
the galaxies, the black holes etc.
If there are no real pictures of black holes?
I am not entirely sure what the question is. Anyway, black holes cannot be seen directly. You can detect their presence due to their gravitation.
Was a planet or anything else sucked into a black hole?
We have seem evidence of objects falling into black holes, but most of what we have seen is probably gas. We do not know of any planets that have falledn into black holes.
Is there such thing as big black holes?
While scientists have never actually SEEN a black hole (they are called "black holes" because their gravity is so great that not even light can escape!) we believe that super-massive black holes are at the hearts of most galaxies. These super-massive black holes might be the mass of a million stars the size of the Sun, or larger.
Are black holes pretty?
NO, to see something you have to be able to intercept light reflected from that thing's surface. Black holes have an escape velocity greater than the sped of light so there is no reflected light and they cannot be seen. If they cannot be seen they cannot be pretty ... or ugly.

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)

Is the universe made of black holes?
