Stellar-Mass Black Holes
The hunt for black holes are never easy, that is because nothing can escape from a black hole, not even light. That makes direct observations of this natural phenomenon impossible. In this essay, I am going to discuss on the various techniques used by scientist to detect the presence of black holes. I will also discuss on some of the stellar-mass black hole candidates within the Milky Way and the connection between X-ray sources and black holes.
