But many black holes are almost impossible to detect, but now managed to find an invisible object, writes Live Science.
Black holes are what remainsafter the death of large stars and the collapse of their cores. Nothing can move fast enough to avoid them, including the light.
Astronomers interested in studying black holes, because they can tell us a lot about how stars die.
It may seem that black holes are invisible by definition, for they have earned their name because of their ability to capture light.
But we can still detect them by how they interact with other objects. due to their strong gravity.
