How do you detect something out in space that’s invisible? Well, you observe how the objects near it behave. This gives you clues about the nature of the invisible body. And that’s exactly how scientists have discovered and described black holes.
Black holes are not visible through standard technology or telescopes, even though they’ve been discovered throughout our own galaxy and our universe. They have an extremely high density, which means there’s a lot of mass in a small area called a “singularity.” Black holes have such a strong gravitational attraction that nothing—not even light—can escape. However, we can see the effect these giant objects produce on nearby matter and stars. Now, it’s a common misconception that light gets “sucked” into a black hole. But a black hole is nothing like a vacuum, so it doesn’t “suck.”

Black holes, and the beautiful, bright stars that orbit it, were all created by God on the fourth day of creation when God made the stars. Black holes should encourage us to glorify God for all the amazing physics He’s put in place.
