In the Heart of Galaxies:
more evidence Black Holes exist

For a very long time, astronomers[as well as the renowned Dr. Einstein, and Dr. Hawking]have theorized the existence of Black Holes[a collapsed, extremely compacted and supermassive star], recent evidence has come to light which suggests that such phenomena are not so theoretical after all.
In fact, it has been put forth that such ‘theoretical’ entities may very well exist in every major galaxy in existence. Although such objects cannot be seen directly[such stellar phenomena have such tremendous gravity that light itself cannot escape], by observing the violent movement of stellar objects nearby, it is possible to detect the effects such objects exert.
Candidates for so dubious an honor are Cygnus X-1, LMC X-3[in the Large Magellanic Cloud , and A0620-00[in the constellation Monoceros]].
It has been demonstrated that the influence of a Black Hole can be observed where it is one of a pair[or more]of stars; Such an occurrence would be seen as a stream of plasma gas being drawn away from a companion star into the accretion disk of a Black Hole. As the gas was drawn beyond the event horizon[the place were light no longer escapes the pull of gravity], x-rays are emitted that can be detected.
Now while not all x-rays are evidence of the existence of Black Holes, the continued accumulation of data of this kind has made the case a much stronger one.
There is also evidence to support the contention that Quasars[which are stellar bodies with the brightness of a trillion suns] are driven by the very same forces[i.e. Black Holes]that inhabit the galaxies themselves.
For despite their very luminescence, quasars are not known to be very large; Research into this phenomenon suggests that only a massive object[such as a Black Hole]could generate that much energy in such a small space.
It is theorized that, the gravity of an object[such as a Black Hole]would accelerate the gases of the nearby stellar object to very near the speed of light[creating a plasma stream]. This gas would be swept into the maw of the accretion disk, where the ‘tell tale ‘plasma jets’ of quasars are seen.
With the use of space based telescopes, observations have been made to bolster the theory. It is possible, with the continued advancement in the field, to perhaps achieve that definitive proof of the existence of such objects in the heavens.
