If you've ever wondered what would happen if you were unlucky enough to fall into a black hole, NASA has your answer.on Monday takes the viewer on a one-way plunge beyond the event horizon of a black hole. marks the point at which not even light moves fast enough to escape the black hole's intense gravitational pull. That means the, marked by a golden ring outside of the heart of the black hole, is the point of no return past which no distant observer can ever recover information.
What is interesting is that if you have the choice of what black hole to tumble into, bigger is better.s, which contain up to about 30 solar masses, possess much smaller event horizons and stronger tidal forces, which can rip apart approaching objects before they get to the horizon." Closer to our destination, the very view of the background stars changes as the warping gravitational effects of the supermassive black holes on spacetime, and thus, light from background sources becomes apparent. Immediately around the black hole is a ring of light that loops around the black hole due to the extreme curvature of space the black hole creates with its tremendous mass.
We'll never get there, though. Just 12.8 seconds after crossing the event horizon, we and our camera are spaghettified while we are still 79,500 miles from the singularity. In this simulation, rather than falling into the black hole, we close in on the event horizon but never cross it. This takes us on a six-hour round trip around this black hole.
