Not directly. If large amounts of matter is falling into the black hole it will heat up and glow brightly. You could also potentially see the distortion of light around the black hole, but you'd have to get pretty close to see that.

If nothing can escape a black hole in outer space how can you see photos of a black hole?

The answer is, you cannot see photos of a black hole. You are quite right; not even light can escape a black hole's incredible gravity, so all black holes are completely invisible. It is possible, however, to see long trails of matter that is being pulled into a black hole. The way we detect black holes from earth, however, is by picking up the gamma rays that they emit.


Can you see a video of the black hole in space?

While there are no direct videos of black holes in space, astronomers have used telescopes to capture images of the matter surrounding black holes, known as the black hole's accretion disk. These images help us study black holes and their properties, but we cannot directly see the black hole itself due to its nature of trapping light.


What does a hurricane look like from outer space?

It looks like a spiral disk, often with a hole in the center. See the links below for pictures


Can you see a black hole when you are on eath?

You cannot see a black hole when you are on Earth, unless a black hole were to absorb Earth, which even then, you would see it in a split-second before it would engulf you


If your body is a black hole are you invisible?

Black holes are invisible to the visible light spectrum and many others because their gravity is so strong it pulls in even light. So in theory yes. But a human body is FAR too light to ever form a black hole. However, if you define visibility as human perception of it, while we never see light from a black hole, we would notice the absence of light in an area, so even if it were possible to turn your body into a black hole, no one would see you, but the would see a black gap in space where you should be...

Where is the black hole that you get the space sharks in poptropica?

To get to the black hole you have to go to straight until the little square says "approaching black hole". Then when you see that you just go straight and you'll see it, but don't get sucked in!


What are the black holes called?

black holes The black hole we see is the Event Horizon. Its realy not a hole. Just a spherical region in space where matter ceases to exist.

How can you say there is a black hole?

You can't see the black hole but you can see its inflence on its environment. (You can see matter that is sucked into the black hole)


Why is it black in outer space?

We see things as black when there is no light coming from that direction. Space is mostly empty, and neither generates light or reflects it, so it looks black. We only SEE things that reflect light, or that generate their own light.
