      Black holes don’t actually suck, things fall into them, think about them like 3D holes in space, or like space funnels. Things fall into them. That said, a whole bunch of stuff falls into black holes from all over the place. Sometimes it’s gas and dust and sometimes they hang out with a star and eat that over the course of thousands of years.
