Black holes do not emit light, so we cannot observe them directly

How can the mass of a black hole can be measured?

The mass of a black hole can be measured by observing the orbits of objects around it, such as stars or gas clouds. By studying the gravitational effects of the black hole on these objects, astronomers can calculate its mass. Another method is to measure the distortion of light from objects behind the black hole, known as gravitational lensing, which can provide information about the black hole's mass.


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.


How do astronomers find the mass of a black hole?

By observing the movement of nearby objects.


Are you reley gowine to be suckt in to a black hole?

Astronomers indicate the probability of us all really going to be sucked into a black hole to be quite low.


What band of radiation is best for studying black holes?

X-rays are the best band for studying black holes as the radiations emitted by the black hole is X-rays so we can expect the presence of a black hole anywhere in the Universe.


What do astronomers think is hiding in the middle of the core galaxy?

A black hole or a worm hole :) good luck


What has actually been seen by Astronomers?

A black hole, exoplanets. It has always been inferred.


Why do astronomers have a difficult time viewing black holes?

You cant see a black hole because the gravitational pull of it is so strong that not even light can escape from it. Astronomers find them through observing the space matter that they pull into them, not the hole itself.


In what part is a black hole in the universe?

Astronomers believe that black holes exist in the center of every universe. They even think that there may be a black hole in the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way


Where is the black hole now?

Astronomers say that there are several, possibly many, black holes, all a long way from Earth.


How can you tell if there is a black hole?

Astronomers look for black holes by searching for their effects (the hole itself by definition can't be seen). Some of the possible effects are gravitational lensing and electromagnetic radiation from the hole's accretion disk.


How do astronomers measure the mass of a supermassive black hole?

By observing the movement of nearby objects. The gravity of the black hole will accelerate such an object according to Newton's Second Law (F=ma). More specifically, the details of the orbit of a star that moves around the black hole will vary, depending on the black hole's mass.
