SciShow Space | How To X-Ray A Black Hole @scishowspace | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 minutes ago
Black holes are everywhere, including at the center of our galaxy. But because they’re invisible they’re quite difficult to study. Looking at the disks of material surrounding them, however, can give us tons of clues about how they function, how they form, and how accurate Einstein’s theory of general relativity really was.
