From event horizon to singularity, the elusive secrets of supermassive black holes are revealed through stunning computer-generated imagery, including an extraordinary simulation of what it might look like to fall into the belly of such an all-devouring beast.

We spotted this in the evening and taped it - must have been on ABC1.
Excellent graphics which should appeal to kids - my 11yo is doing a project on the Sun (including what happens to different sized stars) so I'll watch it with her on the holidays.
