  • Matter falling into the black hole will emit X-rays. The matter is subject to tremendous acceleration before falling into the event horizon.
  • The black hole will still attract surrounding objects, which may be in orbit around it. In some cases (especially the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy), a black hole is the only reasonable explanation for the observed orbit (a mass of about 4 million solar masses, and a diameter of a few light-hours at most).
  • Also, observations of gravitational lensing. The black hole's gravity will distort the light coming from objects behind it.

A black hole can not be truly seen but what astronomers do look for manly is the event horizon it is the very edge of the black hole ... the event horizon is noticed when light droops and bends in to the black hole ...

Why was it so hard to prove that black holes exist?

no dude, the evidences of the existence of black holes is now widely accepted and i believe that black holes rules our universe but it is difficult to find them because black holes are nearly the perfectly black bodies


How did Karl schwarzschild discover cosmic black holes?

He did not discover them. He did some calculations that predicted the possibility of the existence of black holes.


Why is the lack of direct evidence for black holes a problem for scientist?

The lack of direct evidence for black holes poses a challenge for scientists because black holes, by their nature, do not emit any light or radiation that can be easily detected. Instead, researchers must rely on indirect observations and theoretical models to infer the presence of black holes. This makes it difficult to conclusively prove their existence through direct observation.


What have black holes got to do with the beginning of the universe?

The density of matter just after the big bang is calculated to be sufficient to have spontaneously created black holes; such are called primordial black holes, and searches for their existence are ongoing.


How was the Black Hole discovered?

Black holes can't be seen but you can see how something affects the area around the black holes, so that's really how they found a black hole. Karl Schwarzchild is the man most often attributed with having discovered the black hole with a telescope. how is that possible if you can't see a Black hole, how can you see it with a telescope?

Do black holes orbit the universe?

Most likely not. The best evidence of the existence of black holes has been found deep within galaxies.

What forces black holes?

The existence of black holes is an outgrowth or prediction of General Relativity, which was Einstein's theory of gravitation. The dominant force forming black holes is the force of gravity, a universal attraction between mass.

Is there such thing as black holes?

Astronomers believe that there are black holes, but I will add that they have only been observed indirectly at great distances, so it may be that the interpretation of our observations will change in the future.


Is the black hole a wormhole?

Probably not. The existence of black holes can be considered to be confirmed; the existence of wormholes is highly speculative, that is, they probably don't exist at all. According to String Theory, worm hole does exist. However black holes are not warm holes. Even if you did found a wormhole, it probably going to be only about 1 atom small.


Are black holes in space?

Yes, that's where they are. A black hole on Earth would utterly destroy the Earth, in a very short time.The existence of black holes is now generally accepted, by the way.


How do people know and learn about black holes?

Mostly by theory and computer simulation. All observations are necessarily indirect.
