What NASA says would happen if Earth got too close to a black hole
Approaching a black hole unleashes extreme tidal forces, stretching and tearing apart matter, including planets like Earth, a phenomenon known as spaghettification. Time also slows dramatically due to gravitational time dilation. While a supermassive black hole might offer a slightly less violent initial encounter, survival remains improbable due to radiation and instability.
