Can a black hole stop a supernova?

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.

Will a supernova cause a black whole?

Either a black hole, or a neutron star. That depends on how much mass is left after the supernova explosion.


What might happened to a star after it explodes as a supernova?

The supernova remnant will either be a neutron star or a black hole.


Is it true if a black hole swallows a supernova nothing will happen?

This is NOT true. Black holes are formed when massive stars explode in supernovas, blowing much of the star into space and crushing the core into a black hole. One of the things that WILL happen is a massive pulse of x-rays and gamma rays.


What would happen to a black hole if it was devouring a star and the star went supernova?

The gasses ejected from the supernova would probably transfer enough momentum to the black hole to blast it away from the exploding star. The black hole would gain some mass from the gasses.


What is a black hole made from?

A giant star that ends it life in a supernova


Is a black hole a supernova remnant?

No, a black hole is not typically a supernova remnant. A black hole is formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, creating a region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape. On the other hand, a supernova remnant is the leftover material from a massive star's explosion in a supernova event.


What is made after a supernova?

After a Supernova explosion, a Black Hole is created. Thats right.... Stars make black holes! Here is the life cycle of stars! Not the real one, just... when it turns into a black hole. Gases in space> Bigger gasses in space> A pretty star> Still a normal star> Old dwarf star> SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION> Giant Black Hole! Tada!
