Although not even light can escape the powerful gravitational pulls of black holes hence, their name black holes are often bright. That’s because they’re surrounded by features known as accretion disks, which are made up of gas and dust that heat up and give off light as it swirl into the black holes.

The light is from the matter being sucked into the black hole, not the black hole itself.

Measured by the jets of material being blasted away. Black holes are slobs. Most of the material manages to escape instead on going into the event horizon.

:: most luminous black hole ever seen ::
Wait! Are talking about ValJar? Holder? Obamugabe?
And when you use the term “brightest, is that a racist dog-whistle directed at the US education system?
So much time, so much racist-deflection to promote. I need a nap...
Oh, wait; black hole, not “black a-hole”. My bad. Never mind.

Thats because theyre surrounded by features known as accretion disks, which are made up of gas and dust that heat up and give off light as it swirl into the black holes.As visualized in "Interstellar."

To see the largest and darkest, you have to go to Washington DC.

Unlike light bulbs, which are dark-suckers and which wear out their lighting abilities as they get full (hence the dark spots on burnt-out light bulbs); black holes are light suckers which gather and consolidate light from many sources and they get stronger at lighting things up as they get fuller. The dynamics are different - similar to how air conditioners also create heat which must be vented to the outside and how we can use a flame from propane to make a refrigerator cold.

I’ve heard that dark is heavier than light and that is why it sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
