>>14301763>so why are we not getting SUCCed in?Why are you not being incinerated from the massive amount of energy coming at us from Betelgeuse? If you were within a million kilometers of the surface of that star, you'd be dust. But if it was the only source of light in the night sky, you wouldn't be able to see your hand in front of your face.
Same answer - because they're really fucking far away. So far that their gravitational influence is essentially negligible.
>>14301855depends on what you're talking about. If you were talking about orbiting a supermassive black hole, then yeah, you could orbit it at a massive distance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*#Orbiting_stars If you're talking about the distance at which you'd be spaghettified, it is actually inversely correlated to the size of the black hole, so in a supermassive black hole like Sagittarius A*, you could cross the event horizon before your body was stretched to infinity, but around a smaller black hole, you'd be ripped apart before crossing the event horizon.
