Hi there, Star Gazers.

Today we're asking a wild# question.

What would happen if you fell into a black hole?

Spoiler alert, not a trip you're# going to come back from.

First, as you got close, you're going to see some weird effects.

Black# holes are these big massive gravity wells, and they're so massive that their gravity# bends light itself.

Stars behind the black hole from your perspective would warp and# smear into strange shapes around its edge.

That edge is called the event horizon.

That's# the point of no return.

Cross it and nothing, not even light, can escape.

Thus, black hole.

Now,# what happens if you actually fall in?

One word, spaghettification.

Because the black hole gravity# is much stronger at your feet than at your head.

Your body would stretch out like a big noodle.# You'd be pulled thinner and thinner until, let's just say, you wouldn't survive the trip.

From your# perspective, you would seem to fall right through, but to an outside observer watching you, it# would look like you had slowed down at the event horizon, fading into darkness, never quite# crossing over.

See, that's the strange thing about black holes.

Well, one of many.

What you see# depends on where you're looking at them from.

So, if you ever find yourself near a black hole,# please don't jump in unless you want to become cosmic spaghetti.

Thanks for watching,# Star Gazers.

As always, keep looking up.
