You can get as close as you want, as long as your tangential speed is high enough

to maintain an orbit. Inside of some distance, that'll require the speed of light (or

more). The distance depends on the mass of the black hole.

You will always be effected by any mass because gravitational fields are infinite. But being substantionally effected by a black hole depends on how massive the black hole is.

There is one that is about 7,800 light-years from Earth. There is also another one that is in the center of our galaxy which is about 26,000 light year away.

How would falling into a black hole feel like?

You would die quickly, either before, or after, falling into the black hole, depending on the mass of the black hole.


Can you see a black hole in outer space?

Not directly. If large amounts of matter is falling into the black hole it will heat up and glow brightly. You could also potentially see the distortion of light around the black hole, but you'd have to get pretty close to see that.


What would happen if a black hole was too close to a star in a constellation?

If a star was "too close" to a black hole, that star would be captured by the black hole's gravity and be pulled into it.


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.


Would you feel pain falling into black hole?

yes.


How do quasars regulate the growth of black holes?

A quasar is a disk of superheated material falling into a supermassive black hole. The radiation from a quasar is so intense that it actually pushes matter away from the black hole, preventing it from falling in. This process limits how fast a black hole can grow.


How do you get sucked in a black hole?

Does the earth have a black hole?

No. Earth would be destroyed if a black hole came anywhere close to it.


What will happen if something gets close to a black hole?

Objects which approach a black hole will get sucked into it.


What happens if something gets to close to a black hole?

Objects which approach a black hole will get sucked into it.


Has a black hole ever gone near to any planet?

That seems likely, considering the large number of black holes and of planets in the Universe. However, I am not aware of any specific observation of a planet falling into a black hole, for example. On the other hand, the likelyhood of a black hole getting close to Earth, withint any reasonable amount of time, is very low.


What form of enegry come from black holes?

Particles falling into a black hole release a large amount of x-rays as they do so. This is not energy from the black hole itself, but energy release that is a sign of a black hole.
