Early in 2019 scientists announced that they've discovered the brightest object in the universe so far, a quasar catalogued as J043947.08+163415.7. It shines with light equivalent to 600 trillion suns, from a distance 12.8 billion light-years from Earth.

Quasar was the name of an RCA television model in the 1960’s. Makes sense from this explanation

Miss Pringle, you would be stretched on the way towards it. It's called spaghettification. the point where you can't escape anymore is also called the event horizon.

Mama Crow, it depends on the size of the black hole. In the larger ones, you can cross the event horizon without consequences and wouldn’t even notice. Small ones, yes you would be stretched as the closer part of your body would feel more attraction than the top.

Miss Pringle, The person would be dismembered upon entering gravity fields larger than a human body might stand. Perhaps way before entering the blackhole

Providing that oxygen and other life supports were in place and functioning properly, what would happen to a person who got pulled into a black hole?

Black Hole are actually very bright but we have to be inside Horizon of Events to see the light... but you could not get away, neither the light !
