Well.....It is not Hawkings who is credited for the discovery of the black holes. the story is far more older.
"Black holes began to take on their modern form in 1916 when the German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild (1873-1916) used Einstein's general theory of relativity to find out what would happen if all the mass of an object were squeezed down to a dimensionless point – a singularity. He discovered that around the infinitely compressed matter would appear a spherical region of space out of which nothing could return to the normal universe. "

we have no photo of a black hole but images from the results of their existence. Unfortunately I don't have a video klip with the movements of stars around an area where supposed to be a black hole. It was observed from 1992 and in a period of 10 years till 2004 they had all the orbits of the surrounding stars and the vanishing of couple of them.

You can have some images created by grafists and computers about how they look from the link below.

GOOD SURFING...:)

I found the video klip I mentioned above. Go and check in here.

Black holes actually have been found; they were theorized to exist in Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Since then we have observed their effects on neighboring celestial objects (i.e. other stars). Pierre Laplace, a French mathematician discovered black holes in relation to other objects.

So we have seen the 'effects' of a black hole, but no visual proof? We have the deep field image from hubble? Why cant we point a scope/camera into the centre of any galaxy and see the 'darkness''blackness'?
It's like predicting 'cars' by the amount of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere..good theory but could be something else entirely.

Black holes are relatively exist. Scientists already discovered with the help of observing their unorthodox habit and super gravitational pull. Now the only difficulty we ought to continuously understand is what is going on interior the singularity.

Black holes actually exist and it is now theorized they are filled with something unseen that exists but is not matter. Saw on the Discovery Channel last week.

We are unable to observe black holes directly,but we have predicted a back hole based on how a star is acting.

Mr. Hawking was credited for the discovery even though Mr. Einstein had already mathematically proven they exist.

Too bad he didn't believe it and tried to throw out the paper.

Yes they have been discovered, don't know who did it but if they weren't found there would be not such thing for we wouldn't know.

yes, they have been discovered i do not know by whom but they used gravity sensors
