Light that passes near a black hole but does not cross the event horizon is bent toward it in what is called gravitational lensing. The closer the light passes to the black hole, the more it is bent. For someone with an up-close view, this lensing would result in a highly distorted image of whatever is behind the black hole. Photons that cross the event horizon are lost inside of it forever, and their energy is added to the mass of the black hole.

What will happen to are earth in a black hole?
Should Earth ever collide with a black hole, it would get destroyed.
Why is light attracted to a black hole?
Light is not only attracted to a black hole, in fact, its attracted to you, to me and to everything made of matter in the universe. The problem is that light is affected by gravity, and the black holes have so much that light significantly change trajectory or the black holes absorb the photons
What would happen if two black hole were to merge into each other?
You would have a black hole the size of the combined mass of the two black holes.
What would happen if Earth's gravity was a billion times stronger than a black hole's gravity?
The earth would become a black hole.
What would happen if a meteorite hit a black hole?
It would be torn apart by tidal forces as it approached the black hole. Once it crosses the event horizon id disappears into the black hole forever.
What is the object in space having a volume that is approaching zero and density approaching infinity?
A black hole
Why doesn't the black hole have light?
You 'see' things when light (photons) are reflected off a surface, and absorbed by your retina. A black hole's gravitational field is so strong, that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Any photons within a certain radius will be unable to escape. Since no photons are being emitted, the black hole appears black and gives off no light.
What are the effects of black hole on other planets?
As the planet is approaching a black hole due to the immense gravitational pull on the objects surrounding it, the planet revolves around the black hole until it falls into the black hole.
When did Black Hole Assault happen?
Black Hole Assault happened in 1992.
When did Black Hole - comics - happen?
Black Hole - comics - happened in 1995.
Where is the black hole that you get the space sharks in poptropica?
To get to the black hole you have to go to straight until the little square says "approaching black hole". Then when you see that you just go straight and you'll see it, but don't get sucked in!
When a black hole dies what happen to the stuff inside the black hole?
It disappears forever
What is going to happen when the black hole destroy the universe?
Well if it DOES happen and a black hole DOES destroy the Universe, then we won't be around to worry about it.
If one of a pair of entangled photons is drawn into a black hole than what is the result to the other?
Photons do not become "entangled" with each other any more than waves on water do. They move along independently. If a photon crosses the event horizon of a black hole as that photon follows the curve of spacetime "down" into the black hole, it is probable that a photon moving "with" it will suffer the same fate.
What will happen if something gets close to a black hole?
Objects which approach a black hole will get sucked into it.
When did Black Hole - video game - happen?
Black Hole - video game - happened in 1981.
What would happen in a black hole?
nothing
