No, because nothing can escape the black hole, not even light. So without light, we can't see anything. but, we can see stars being stretched like spaghetti and then being sucked into the black hole.

No,they are invisible. They are usually detected by how they influence other objects like stars around them.

Who was the first person to see a black hole?

No black hole has ever been seen by anyone. The nature of a black hole actually prevents it from being seen. A black hole is the ultimate gravity well, and nothing that crosses the event horizon can escape. Not even light can get out. The only way a black hole can be "seen" is indirectly as it creates what is called gravity lensing. Light from objects "behnid" the black hole is "bent" around it, and it is this phenomenon that allows a black hole to be "seen" by observers.


Which telescope has discovered a remnant of a black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy?

It's not a "remnant" of a black hole; there is a black hole at the center of the Milky Way, period. And as far as I know it wasn't discovered by any single telescope; rather, it has been observed over several years, with different instruments, and scientists have come to the conclusion (based on such observations) that the only explanation for what they observed is a black hole.


Can you see a video of the black hole in space?

Dude it is black for a reason. You can not see the black hole itself, but you can see the black hole distorting light, eating stars, or it's gravitational pull.


What effect might a hole in the ozone layer have on the receptivity of a UV telescope?

If this telescope were at the poles during this occurrence, it would see better.


Can you see a black hole when you are on eath?

You cannot see a black hole when you are on Earth, unless a black hole were to absorb Earth, which even then, you would see it in a split-second before it would engulf you

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.

How can you say there is a black hole?

You can't see the black hole but you can see its inflence on its environment. (You can see matter that is sucked into the black hole)

What device do you need to see a black hole?

A black hole cannot be observed directly. It cannot be "seen" as we understand the term in its basic form. But we can use a telescope to "guess" that a black hole may be in a certain location by the effects of the black hole. The presence of a black hole can be deduced from the way nearby stars move around it, or it may be "seen" by what is called gravitational lensing. The latter is a phenomenon whereby light from sources "behind" the black hole is "bent" around the black hole. If a black hole is close enough, the generation of X-rays at the event horizon would allow it to be detected, but don't count on anyone finding one in this manner. Use the link below to learn more and see a short motion graffic of gravitational lensing.
