I wonder what black holes will do in No Man's Sky... like, will it destroy/kill you from distance, or will you'll be able to "enter' it?

Also curious about how stars will work. If we get close will our starship burn and explode?

Going by physics, it will rip you apart into subatomic particles in well under a second.

You could get closer to a supermassive black hole, which are found in the centre of galaxies. You will never escape, but while descending, you will see all kinds of strange stuff, like the whole universe concentrating at one point for example. You will not see the singularity however. It's too small. Well, yeah, and in the end, you will always die. There is no escaping from a black hole. I hope it's that way in the game too. While I know that not everything can be physically correct and still entertaining (otherwise you would need at least 8 years of gametime to travel between two stars) I want the most basic physics to be there. Like gravity, atmospheres and their influence, magnetic fields and so on. 

AFAIK you wouldn't see the singularity because all the light is moving towards it and none away from it, not because of it's size, since the singularity doesn't even have physical dimensions to begin with.

Either way, I hope they come with something else than singularities, which are too simplistic a solution based on our incomplete understanding of subatomic particles and relativistic physics. It would be quite a plot twist if someone tried to suicide on a supermassive black hole only to slam into a soup of tightly compressed strange matter when it should be crossing the event horizion...
