Because the bug nebula's (NGC 6302) central star, a white dwarf, is only about two thirds solar mass, it is unlikely to become a black hole. It would need to be about five times its current mass to overcome degeneracy pressure.

Could black holes suck in nebulas?

Not entire nebulae. The gravity of a black hole is said to be inescapable, but this is only technically true for matter that crosses the event horizon. If too much matter falls into a black hole, not all of it will be able to fit. Some will be ejected in jets at the poles of the black hole at close to the speed of light. Other matter may simply be flung out. The intense radiation from this process can drive gasses away.

Where is the galatic center and its black hole?

The galactic centre is the central region of a galaxy. Most, if not all galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their centre.


How could you get sucked up by a black hole?

You could get sucked up by a black hole if you were close enough to feel its gravitational pull more strongly than another force to counterbalance it which would otherwise prevent you from getting sucked inside, such as, for example the orbital inertia which prevents the stars in our galaxy, including the Sun, from getting sucked into the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole.

What could you do to escape the black hole?

You can't - that's the whole idea of a black hole. Don't get near a black hole in the first place.


Can you make a black hole inside a black hole?

We know nothing about the conditions within a black hole, but it seems unlikely that a black hole could exist within a black hole, or even if this concept would have any meaning at all.

Yes a black hole could envelope our solar system but it does not swallow anything.
