A study suggested that there are 100 million black holes in the Milky Way Galaxy, but X-ray observations have only found dozens so far. Most of the black holes may be âdarkâ and difficult to see directly at any wavelength.
Black holes pull matter and even energy into themselvesâbut no more so than other stars or cosmic objects of similar mass. That means that a black hole with the mass of our own sun would not suck objects into it any more than our own sun does with its own gravitational pull.Planets, light, and other matter must pass close to a black hole in order to be pulled into its grasp.xtremely large black holes may exist at the center of some galaxiesâincluding our own Milky Way. These massive features may have the mass of 10 to 100 billion suns. They are similar to smaller black holes but grow to enormous size because there is so much matter in the center of the galaxy for them to add.
