Scientists Aim To Directly View A Black Hole
So far, astronomers haven't been able to directly see a black hole. Since light can't escape them, they're difficult to detect in the first place, and our knowledge of how black holes work relies mainly on X-ray telescopes to view particle emissions or observations of areas around black holes.

Do Black Holes Help Stars Form?
The center of just about every galaxy is thought to host a black hole, some with masses of thousands of millions of Suns and consequently strong gravitational pulls that disrupt material around them. They had been thought to hinder the birth of stars, but now an international team of astronomers studying the nearby galaxy Centaurus A has found quite the opposite: a black hole that seems to be ...

Govt. seeks to shed light on medical device pricing, finds black hole instead
In physics, a black hole is a region in space from which nothing — not even light — can escape. And that is exactly what the Government Accountability Office, the nonpartisan entity reporting to Congress, encountered when it tried to find out how hospitals could make better purchase decisions when it came to implantable medical devices [...]
