They are not hidden. They are invisible to the eye, the telescope and everything else. Because of their great gravitational pull not even light can escape them.The only way we can "see" them is by observing the effect they have on the nearby stars. When we see a star acting in an un-natural way, we can only assume that there is something near by to make it act contrary to the laws of physics. As our telescopes are becoming more and more refined, we are discovering many more of these celestial phenomenons. Black holes, as we understand them today are common in the universe and in our Galaxy.

Sorry, but I only follow external links if the question has at least 15 exclamation points.
