Best Answer

A black hole is often the RESULT of a supernova explosion. When a massive star dies, the star explodes. The core of the star is crushed, while the outer layers of the star are blown away into space. This explosion is a nova or supernova. The early astronomers, seeing a burst of light where no star had ever been seen before, called them "nova stellarum", or "new star".

When the core of the star is crushed by the explosion, the result is a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how densely the core is collapsed.
