Actually a great Black Hole website was just recommended to me:

Galactic Center Research at the Max Plank Society
<http://www.mpe-garching.mpg.de/www_ir/GC/gc.html>
This site shows time-lapse images (actual data, not simulation)
of stars at the center of our galaxy orbiting around what is almost
certainly a black hole.  Flares associated with black holes are
also reported.  This website was recommended by Bob Romer.
