Physicists postulated the existence of Black Holes for quite some time. It wasn't until NASA launched an X-Ray telescope into space that they could definitively say they had found a black hole. The first Black Hole they found was in the constellation of Cygnus - the Swan. A red Giant had been acting erratically and giving some signs of being influenced by an unseen neighbor. The extreme X-ray signature of a black hole was detected and years of physics were bourne out. Many black holes have been discovered. It is theorized that massive black holes are at the center of Spiral Galaxies. Who know is 500 billion years, the remnants of our solar system may be on the event horizon.

Yes. The presence of a black hole is shown by relatively small regions of space from which intense radiation is emitted. This radiation is interstellar gas and dust being accelerated to near light speed by the immense gravity of a black hole. Also, the wobble several stars exhibit as they move through space is caused by the presence of a nearby black hole.

Observations of infrared, gamma, and other radiation indicate a possible black hole about 18,000 light years from earth. Analysis of the data indicates its mass is too much to be anything other than a black hole.
There is also believed to be one in the centre of the Milky Way galaxy, and likely in the centre of most large galaxies.
We can't "see" a black hole for various reasons - dust, gas, and stars in the way, plus even if the event horizon was visible it would be too small for us to resolve with current technology.

Yes, there are several phenomenon that were observed which can presently only be explained by the presence of a black hole.

issues like the "collision course with Andromeda," black holes, and meteorites are purely a difficulty if the organic worldwide is all there is, yet no difficulty for the Christian who believes that God has promised to make new heavens and a clean earth (2 Peter 3:13). we are patently informed in the Bible that this could be a cursed earth and undesirable issues are meant to take place.
