<p>I know Hawking Radiation has firm theoretical footing, but has a signal ever actually been observed? What observational research is being done to attempt to see this effect? Is it simply too tall an order (i.e. - too far away, too weak of a signal, etc..)? </p>

As far as I know, the answer is no for the first to questions. But I'm uncertain about the last, I bet there's some ingenious technique stashed somewhere in the arXiv. I'll try to look for one when I have the time.

I know Hawking Radiation has firm theoretical footing, but has a signal ever actually been observed? What observational research is being done to attempt to see this effect? Is it simply too tall an order (i.e. - too far away, too weak of a signal, etc..)?
