Hi, I'm Sinthia. Steven Hawking has done some good work but it is out of my field.
Black holes are fairly small on a universal scale.
All around them are stars, gas and dust. Whatever is close by can get pulled in, but outside that is just stars and space. I think you mean that we look at them from our vantage point - on the other side are more stars, gas and dust. Hi., Dr. Kessel. I don't think I really had a role model to follow.
