Black holes are massive objects from which even light cannot escape -- so how can we "see" them? In this month's KPL astronomy talk, Lucy Pothier-Bogoslowski  will discuss several observational techniques and properties of black holes that allow us to observe them and their impact on their environments from small to large scales.
