This new, immersive visualisation produced on a NASA supercomputer represents a scenario where a camera — a stand-in for a daring astronaut — enters the event horizon, sealing its fate.
Black holes are so massive that not even light can escape, which is how you know you’re basically nothing in comparison.
To expand our knowledge of black holes, a network of AMT telescopes are being set up around the world, including one in Africa.
Using just gravity, black holes can rip entire planets apart, but how powerful they are depends on how much mass they contain.
Scientists have uncovered evidence of a black hole at the centre of our galaxy. They’ve also managed snap a pic of it using the Very Large Telescope.
