>When did this happen?
Unknown and difficult to say. We could have been enveloped within a rogue black hole traveling near the speed of light relatively recently. It could have been millions of years ago.
>What will happen from here?
Given the size of the event horizon we are inside of, it will take an extremely long time for the solar system to travel deeper in. We are almost certainly orbiting the center of the black hole and will continue to do so for quite a while.
As we approach the center, the difference in our time compared to what we observe will continue to diverge. Eventually we will begin to see the distant stars move in fast motion and we may even survive to see the stars die out and darkness take over. The billions of years left on our sun will be stretched into trillions as our solar timeline stretches further and further.
Our next step should be locating the center of the black hole, and attempting to determine if other star systems are within the event horizon as well. It’s possible that other intelligent life is in here with us.
