NASA scientists presented a new animation using the Discover supercomputer, illustrating the possible effects when a human falls into the “point of no return” of a black hole, according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail” .
Although a specific black hole is not shown in the virtual video, its size is close to that of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, while approximately 10 terabytes of data were produced for this project.
The black hole
When the video starts and the camera approaches the void, the accretion disk appears bright orange, which is indicated as a hot disk of gas orbiting the black hole.
The accretion disk is made of material that emits energy when it falls into the black hole, whether it is gas, dust, or another type.
Have you ever wondered what happens when you fall into a black hole?
Thanks to a new immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, we are starting #BlackHoleWeek with a virtual dive into the event horizon – the point of no return of a black hole: https://t.co/aIk9MC1ayK pic.twitter.com/CoMsArORj4

The term event horizon refers to the point from which nothing, even light, can escape.
The event horizon of the hypothetical black hole extends an estimated distance of about 25 million kilometers and is about 17% of Earth’s distance from Earth.the sun.
The gravitational effect of a black hole
The agency revealed NASA The virtual event, seen from the individual’s point of view via the virtual camera, has been dramatically accelerated to 60% the speed of light, and the camera is meant to represent the astronaut’s point of view at case where it would manage to reach the black hole, which is currently impossible.
Xavier Calmette, professor of physics at the University of Sussex, said the gravitational influence of the black hole would increase significantly, causing the person’s body to take on a shape resembling a long spaghetti. This situation would not be comfortable at all. and will happen relatively quickly, and so if this process is painful, the pain may not last long.
