Question 7 • 2001310 Earth Science Sem 1 - Pearson

Why can’t astronomers take a picture from inside a black hole?

Answer
A
Gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape a black hole.
B
The nearest black hole is too far away to be seen.
C
There is no way to detect the locations of black holes.
D
Black holes are too large to photograph.

Explanation

A black hole’s event horizon is the boundary beyond which nothing can escape, including light. A photograph would need light or other information to travel from inside the black hole to an observer outside, but it cannot cross back out. So the correct choice is “Gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape a black hole.”
