Are Black Holes Real?
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/physics/are-black-holes-real/
"Today, there is wide scientific consensus that black holes are real. Even though they can't be observed directly-by definition, they give off no light-astronomers can infer their hidden presence by watching how stars, gas, and dust swirl and glow around them."

Why the coldest place in the universe is so special

"Known as the Event Horizon Telescope, named after the point of no return in a black hole, its job was to see what has been until now unseeable: an exquisitely small, dark circle of nothing, a tiny shadow in the glow of radiation at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
