Detecting black holes

in comets •  6 years ago 

Some binary star systems may contain a star that has turned into a black hole. Gas from the other star would swirl around the black hole before being pulled into it, giving off high- energy radiation, including x-rays.

• x-rays cannot travel through Earth's atmosphere, so they are studied by satellite that send information back to Earth.

• There are many other suspected black holes, including a giant one at the centre of our galaxy.
