So this is what would happen if you fell into a black hole…

This artist rendering provided by NASA shows a star being swallowed by a black hole, and emitting an X-ray flare, shown in red, in the process. A new study published Monday, Feb. 6, 2017, in the journal Nature Astronomy details a black hole that's taken a record-breaking decade to devour a star 1.8 billion light-years from Earth.

Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that once something enters the hole, it can never escape. This includes light.

Because black holes consume everything in their reach, including light, they are not easy to spot with the naked eye. To determine where a black hole is located, scientists must take note of how surrounding stars and gasses are affected by the strong gravitational pull.
