Although it is not a tangible or material surface, the notional radial distance from the singularity at the center of the black hole at which the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light is referred to as the event horizon, a supposed point of no return such that infalling matter, once it enters, cannot escape, since it should not be able to exceed the speed of light. Typically it would be a spherical or oblate spheroidal in shape.

Who discovered the black hole or how was the black hole discovered?

Your use of "the" black hole seems to indicate that you are thinking about one specific black hole. Please clarify which one - there are several known black holes, discovered at different times.


What is in the middle of a black hole?

In the middle of a black hole, there is a single point of matter called a singularity. This is where space-time actually stops and nothing is beyond this point. Anything and everything that gets sucked up in the black hole goes here.


Is a black hole a warp zone?

It would be easier to answer this if we knew what you meant by a "warp zone". If you mean something that warps you from one place to another like in a video game, then no. A black hole is an object, usually a dead star, that has completely crushed itself under the force of gravity into an infinitely dense singularity. Around the black hole space and time are severely distorted. At a certain radius, dependent on the black hole's mass, this distortion forms a sphere called an event horizon. Anything that falls through this surface will be trapped inside forever.


Would you move to a black hole if there was one in the middle of the galaxy?

No, because you can't live on a black hole.


What is it called when a black hole explodes?

One common term used is black hole evaporation. This relates to a mechanism wherein the black hole's mass is gradually lost through Hawking radiation; but the rate of loss is inversely proportional to the black hole's size and thus accelerates as it shrinks. At the moment it vanishes it is thought to do so with a burst of gamma radiation; the Fermi space telescope is intended to search for such gamma flashes.

Who saw the Black Hole through a telescope?

No one has "seen a black hole" but evidence of where a black hole must be has been observed.


What happens at the edge of a black hole?

You are referring to the "event horizon" of a black hole. At this point, nothing, not even light, can escape the gravity of the singularity (or black hole). If you were so unlucky to be there, your body would be stretched from the part that is closest to the black hole. Eventually, your body would be one long string of atoms swirling into the black hole. This is called "spaghettification" and is an actual scientific term.
