The main challenge astronomers face when trying to directly detect black holes is that **black holes trap all light**. This means that they do not emit light and are therefore invisible against the backdrop of space. Detecting them typically relies on observing their interaction with nearby matter or the effects of their gravity on surrounding objects.
