Spoiler: article doesn't show any picture, just "artist's impression"
That's only a spoiler if you don't really know how big space is, how far away other stuff is, etc.
For fun, you could try to do some calculations on what kind of lens / focal length / field of vision you'd need to get an image of something 12,000 light years away, eg using the calculator at https://www.kowa-lenses.com/en/lens-calculator.

What happens when Uranus gets swallowed by a black hole?
It gets stretched, elongated, and eventually disappears into the black hole, leaving behind nothing but a trail of gas.
