So, where did I find my facts and figures? In lots of different places. Tracking down information about black holes was a little like tracking black holes themselves. It took research, questions, and lots of cross-checking to piece together something that made sense. Then again, it was a lot easier for me to track down information than it is for astronomers to locate black holes—thanks to high-quality Internet resources and helpful librarians, such as Jeffrey Mehigan and Debbie Batson. Luckily I was able to find what I wanted without special X-ray detectors. –A Black Hole Is Not a Hole,
