Black Holes--a type of Dark matter 15 pt

Go through the basics of the Black Hole tutorial to find out the answers to the following:

a)  what are the parts of a black hole?
b)  how is gravity related to a black hole?
c)  how can we see the holes if they are black?
d)  what's a Swarzschild radius?
e)  how do Einstein's theories relate to this?

You need to post the answers to these questions on your own blog.

a) jets of gas, event horizon, and accretion disc
b.) the gravity so strong that its escape velocity exceeds the speed of light
c.) they are collapsed stars
d.) It is the radius for a given mass where, if that mass could be compressed to fit within that radius, no known force or degeneracy pressure could stop it from continuing to collapse into a gravitational singularity
