Black ''Hole'' it is indeed.

See the following link that has a great video. And you can explore a Hubble star map to find different features of the universe.

http://hubblesite.org/explore_astronomy/black_holes/

By the way, the Milky Way, or galaxy, has a black hole in the center of it. Scientist have discovered that using microwave emission photography from the WAMP mission. See the NASA site:

http://sos.noaa.gov/datasets/solar_system/wmap.html

They have used this system to verify the Big Bang theory on the origins of the universe.

Asker's Rating:
• Thanks! I never thought about Black Holes that way.

By the way, it was a type error when i said "whole"

firstly it is called a black hole and not a black whole.

"a black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, including light, can escape its pull"

as it absorbs all the light its called black.
It reflects nothing, just like a perfect blackbody.
the calculations of a bodys speed momentum are taken into account.
they r complicated calculations.
