Explanation: What would you see if you went right up to a black hole? Featured is a computer generated image highlighting how strange things would look. The black hole has such strong gravity that light is noticeably bent towards it - causing some very unusual visual distortions. Every star in the normal frame has at least two bright images - one on each side of the black hole. Near the black hole, you can see the whole sky - light from every direction is bent around and comes back to you. The original background map was taken from the 2MASS infrared sky survey, with stars from the Henry Draper catalog superposed. Black holes are thought to be the densest state of matter, and there is indirect evidence for their presence in stellar binary systems and the centers of globular clusters, galaxies, and quasars.

Que up the, “That’s Racist,” kid...
If there’s no matter falling into the black hole that’s what it would look like.
Or, there are no black holes, anywhere, ever.
down the drain of the universe
Right. They are actually full of light and color. We just can’t see the light because the gravity won’t let it escape.
When and if a black hole acquires enough mass, it can make a really Big Bang.
If we could indeed watch something go into a ‘Black Hole’ from our direction, wouldn’t it get so close, then appear to just ‘freeze’ in place, because after getting so close we would no longer see any changes of the object?
I’m probably not explaining myself very well, but you may get what I’m saying. The whole concept is fascinating and difficult for me to wrap my often feeble mind around. lol
I’m not sure this artist rendition is true to form. With particles falling into the black hole from every direction and the tremendous gravitational lens effect bending the light from distant stars from all directions, wouldn’t the black hole appear as a very bright, fuzzy, small sphere?

The term “Black Hole” is racist according to John Wiley Price.

Is it a black hole or a black orb?
Reminiscent of a different type of "-Hole" containing even higher density material ....
Astronaut B and the rest of us see a man instantly crushed at the Roche limit, his constituent atoms spread over the entire surface of the mass, perhaps with only a squeak of x-rays to indicate Astronaut A's thorough annihilation.
From Astronaut A's point of view, his acceleration toward the black hole would speed him up nearly to the velocity of light, and his perception would be of an "outside" universe coming to a halt, while he experienced an eternity of always being destroyed and always speeding toward an inevitable destruction that is always an eternity away.
Actually, he would die of starvation or old age before arriving at that end, but, still, this always kind of reminds me of traditional descriptions of literal hell, the burning dump of the universe. Eternal fire for those who don't escape, but a quick end for the "damned" for those who do escape.
Eternal damnation, as described by Christ (and reported by credible witnesses), is easier to imagine today than it was 100 years ago. We have at least one real example in nature, as common as dirt in the sky above.
This may be the most frightening post I’ve ever read on FR. I’m not joking.
