NASA’s Black Hole Field Guide: Episode 2 - Fancy Black Holes

The video explores the fascinating nature of black holes, which, despite being black, can emit bright light through accretion disks and jets. These phenomena occur when matter spirals into the black hole, heating up and sometimes being ejected at high speeds. Observing these events requires multiple telescopes to capture the full spectrum of light, including those invisible to the naked eye.

In what ways can black holes emit light and particles?

Why is it important to use different telescopes to observe black holes?
