What it is

A Vsauce explainer by Michael Stevens on what it would look like to fall into a black hole, covering gravitational lensing, spaghettification, the visual distortion of near-light-speed travel, and the question of where the center of the universe is. The description links to supporting simulations and articles.

The light you will see inside the black hole it will be the light before you hit the event horizon. Does someone falling into a black hole see the end of the universe? [LINK] front view(full black) side view(half black) back view(small circle) [this video] at 5:17

This an addition to count_to_10's answer [LINK] I would like to provide some visualization rather than troubling you with math, If your to travel near the speed of light, you wouldn't see the star rushing towards you rather it would appear as if the star was receding away from you as you accelerate because your field of view would increase. So you would be able to see things behind you, here the explanation [this video] . All the light reaching you would be blueshifted as the image showed in count_to_10's answer. [LINK] Its the CMB which get blueshifted to visible spectrum. So my friend if you are a Star Wars fans I'm sorry, its not realistic as the Millennium Falcon's crew would be seeing one li

Everyone seems to know about black holes. They have an absolutely massive mass, and if you go into them, time stops [this video] from an outside perspective. When a planet gets too close to a black hole, it is eaten... When a star gets too close to a black hole, it is eaten... When even light gets too close to a black hole, it is eaten... But, what happens when a black hole gets too close to a black hole?
