Imagine you are looking into space. You see a small group of stars, and pinpoint where they are. Then you come back a short time later, and you'll see that they moved, and not only that, but all of them in the same circular motion. The star that was on the top might now be on the right. The center of this circle is very likely a black hole. These stars are going around that point so fast that the gravity must be extremely strong, and only black holes have such gravitational pull on other masses.

Searching for black holes involves using various instruments such as telescopes and detectors to look for the effects that black holes have on their surroundings, such as gravitational lensing or the emission of X-rays. Scientists also study the behavior and movement of nearby stars and gas clouds, as well as gravitational waves, to infer the presence of black holes.

How did the black hole explode?

Black holes do not explode in the traditional sense. However, some black holes can emit powerful jets of energy and matter due to magnetic fields and intense gravitational forces. These jets are produced from material falling into the black hole and are not an explosion in the typical sense.


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

I am not sure it is a problem. The evidence for black holes is quite strong.I am not sure it is a problem. The evidence for black holes is quite strong.I am not sure it is a problem.

How is a nebula linked to a black hole?

When a nebula collapses under the right conditions it forms a star. Larger stars end their life-cycle as black holes. For more information try searching for "stellar evolution."


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.

Are black holes moving?

Yes black holes are moving but they have no sense of direction..


What can you say about black holes?

Black holes were stars that were so massive that they collapsed on itself. The gravity in black holes is infinite and more you get closer to it, more time gets slower. Black holes suck all matter that is too close. Even light can't escape Black holes.
