Yes,
you can read all about it here:

Another reply: Sure, for a start, anything outside the horizon will still be attracted by the black hole, so it just may end up falling into the black hole.
Also, for smaller black holes, tidal forces outside the event horizon can be significant. This may tear objects apart, if they venture too near the black hole.
What else can I help you with?
Can you watch objects being pulled past the event horizon of a black hole?
No, once an object crosses the event horizon of a black hole, it is no longer visible from outside the black hole. The gravitational pull is so intense that not even light can escape, making it impossible to observe objects beyond the event horizon.
What is the OUTSIDE of the black hole called?
The very outside part of a black hole when "feeding" is called the Accretion Disc. when a black hole is not devouring a star the outside part becomes the Event Horizon.
What part of a black hole is the strongest that nothing can escape?
The event horizon. Anything inside the event horizon can't escape.
Does a black hole have an horizon?
The so-called "event horizon" of a black hole is the point-of-no-return. That means that anything that gets inside the event horizon can't get out any more, even if if it moves at the speed of light.
Could black holes be time warps?
Black holes do distort time. The closer you get to the event horizon of a black hole, the slower time goes. From the perspective of someone outside, time at the event horizon stops.
Why can't we see anything past the event horizon of a black hole?
The event horizon of a black hole is a boundary beyond which the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape. This means that anything beyond the event horizon is invisible to us, as no light or information can reach us from that region.
What is the event horizon in a black hole?
That is the "point of no return". Within the event horizon, gravity is so strong that anything that crosses the event horizon can't get out, even if it moves at the speed of light.
What is around a black hole?
An "event horizon." This is the range from the black hole at which not even light can escape the pull of gravity. If the black hole is low-mass, this will be sharp, but the horizon of a supermassive black hole might have stars, worlds and people inside going on about their business. However, none of this could be known to anyone outside the horizon.
Can any thing escape a black hole?
Once anything crosses the black hole's event horizon it will not be able to escape.
How much do black holes slow time down?
The degree to which time slows depends on the distance to the event horizon. From an outside perspective, time at the event horizon stops.
How does a quasar work?
A quasar is believed to have a supermassive black hole at its center. The radiation is emitted outside the black hole's event horizon - from matter that is falling into the black hole.
What is the name for the boundary around a black hole beyond which events cannot affect the observer?
The "boundary" you're probably thinking of is called the event horizon. Past this point, the escape velocity of the black hole exceeds the speed of light, meaning nothing, including light, can escape it.
