How can you detect a black hole? Once something passes beyond the event horizon of a black hole it is impossible for it to ever escape (with the possible exception of Hawking radiation). Therefore you might argue that it is not possible to "see" any black hole; however, we can measure the effects of a black hole on it's surrounding space, especially if matter from a nearby star is accreting onto the object. As matter falls towards the event horizon it forms a disk-like accretion pattern that emit very high-energy photons in the form of X-rays and Gamma rays. Peculiarly, some (if not all) accretion disks eject part of the in-falling matter into highly confined beams or jets in two opposite directions. Stranger still, scientists have observed jets coming from black holes that range in sizes from as small as our own solar system to that of an entire galaxy!
