Quantum resolutions of the space-time singularity at the end of gravitational collapse may
provide hints towards the properties of a final theory of Quantum-Gravity. The mechanism by which
the singularity is avoided and replaced by a bounce depends on the specific behaviour of gravity
in the strong field and may have implications for the geometry of the space-time also in the weak
field. In the last few decades, several scenarios for black hole bounces have been proposed and I shall
argue that the times are now mature to ask the question of whether such bounces can be observed in
astrophysical phenomena
