Anything coming within 50,000 km of either of the Eyes is lost and will fall into the black hole within minutes. Rescue and escape are impossible. It is possible, however, for a ship to orbit one of the Eyes at a 60,000 km radius. Designated Ebony Eye Alpha and Ebony Eye Beta on UPF astrogational charts, they are small compared to average black holes. But an interesting phenomenon occurs around the Eyes that is not known to be found around any other: because the black holes are so close together, the temporal and spatial fields around them have been twisted out of shape.
