Clarification

I think that a spaceship would get pulled into a black hole before the further outlying galaxies and stars. Therefore, what might happen is a simple length contraction of the universe, making the whole shebang appear to be squashed against the event horizon in the instant before the spaceship is pulled in. Thereafter, the length contraction might relax as a function of delta-time from the passage of the event horizon, and delta-time from the emission of light from the more distant object. The further away an object was when the spaceship was captured, the longer it will take for its image to snap back to its geometric position, but also the faster it might occur.

The relaxation of the length contraction might be a function of the relative velocity of the event horizon when the object was captured, the distance to the observer, or maybe a function of the volume-specific density of the expanding black hole.

I'm right at the limit here.
