It may end up as a black hole, if there is enough mass left after the supernova explosion. Otherwise, it will most likely become a neutron star.

in a supernova the outside of the star expoldes leaving a core which has the same mass as the original star but if the size of our star the remaining core will be not much bigger that the earth meaning the mass to to big for somthing of its size so it will collapse into itself creating a black hole. the resulting dust and hydrogen will create an nebula where it will eventualy collect using gravity and magnatism to create a new star

What forms from a supernova?

Depending on the mass of the original star it will either end up as a neutron star (< 20 solar masses) or a black hole (> 20 solar masses).


How do the lives of the most massive stars end?

Less massive stars end up as white dwarfs. More massive stars end up as a supernova or a neutron star or for the really massive stars...as a black hole. As a star ends its time in the main sequence it either becomes a Red Giant and end its life as a White Dwarf or becomes a White Super Giant and ends its life in an explosion (supernova) and if it's really dense it becomes a neutron star or a black hole as mentioned above.


How do you end up in a black hole?

you have to go to space and find one and get sucked into the black hole


When you are sucked into a black hole where are you going and where do you end up?

When you are sucked into a black hole you'll get destroyed. The matter of your body will remain in the black hole.


What type of objects do stars end their life as?

They will end up as neutron stars or even black holes. Usually they will first explode as a supernova (of type1a).


Can your sun ever turn into a black hole?

Our Sun cannot, we believe, turn into a black hole. The Sun has too little mass to undergo the supernova explosion that would crush the core of the star into a black hole. However, sometime "soon" (and in astronomy, "soon" could be anywhere within the next ten thousand years) we expect the red giant star Betegeuse to die just that way; a supernova explosion that will light up our sky like a second full moon, that will crush the core of the star into a black hole.


How powerful is a supernova?

Its like a super flamethrower!Just imangane all the light a black hole gathered all up and it came in one huge fireball!


What year is the world supposedly going to end?

The world will end in 10 billion years when the sun flares up into a supernova. It is not large enough to create a black hole, but it will simply blow off it's final layer and shrink while cooling off into a little white star.


What would happen if a black hole crashed into a supernova?

This certainly would be a spectacular celestial event. A lot would depend on the relative sizes and masses of the two objects - generally speaking a black hole, particularly the commonest type, the stellar mass black holes, are pinpricks in size by comparison to a star - let alone a supernova. It would also depend on the speed and "aim" of the collision - remember not only mass would be preserved but relative angular momentum. Gravitational interactions with a near miss would mean a mutual orbit around a common center of gravity with the heavier object occupying a near orbit with the lighter object, in this case a steady stream of matter from the supernova spiraling into the black hole. If the collision was more direct, all matter immediately in the path of the black hole's event horizon would fall in and be consumed by the black hole, and the remainder would eventually be subsumed into the black hole's accretion disk - remembering the preservation of angular momentum initially it would be very lop-sided and 'messy' but due to gravitational effects and the nature of matter in orbits it would eventually settle down and become planar. In either case, tidal effects would cause an apparent elongation (spaghettification) of the supernova in the direction of the gravitational pull of the black hole. At the moment of collision likely significant amounts of matter (depending on the relative collision speed) would be flung out into space; almost all matter within the photon sphere of the black hole not traveling at relativistic speeds away from the black hole would already be occupying a path which would end up intersecting the black hole. The black hole would also gain in size in direct proportion to the mass it consumed - but the pull it exerted would be no greater per unit mass than that of the supernova - in other words the expanding envelope of matter, particles, gas, or anything else from the supernova would no more get suddenly sucked back into the black hole by virtue of the fact that it is a black hole, than it would from the effects of the mass of the supernova; but having said that, the increase in mass that the presence of the black hole introduces would mean any outward expanding matter during the supernova's explosion would now be subject to a greater inhibiting pull on its expansion, or in other words would be expanding "up" a steeper gravitational gradient. If the black hole was supermassive and significantly larger than the supernova there would be no question as to the winner of the direct collision - the supernova would be consumed. Tidal force would not spaghettify it significantly, an observer at the supernova might see the approach of a bright ring with a black center, and some redshifting in background stars owing to acceleration as it fell inwards; an observer some distance away, owing to relativistic effects (time dilation) might see the supernova appear to slow down and almost stop with a similar redshifting into invisibility as the light near the event horizon had to climb the black hole's gravitational gradient (per the Special Theory). For a rapidly spinning black hole, frame dragging effects would further distort the infalling matter. Some other scenarios are conceivable. If the black hole were microscopic and traveling at relativistic speeds, its effect even with a direct hit on the center of the supernova might be barely noticeable and could potentially produce nothing more than a thin streamer of gas as it egressed the supernova somewhat like if a small bullet was to be shot through a large spherical wad of dust.


Why is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

First of all, let's look at the basics first. A black hole is made from supernovas of stars(death) The sun is big enough to make a black hole since it is one of the biggest stars in space. Now if the sun dies in a supernova (not going to happen) in a bout 2 to 10 billion years later the star's remains will group up and eventually make a black hole. The sun won't die in a supernova but it will burn out all of its fuel thus not able to hold its own gravitational pull


What is formed from a black hole?

Black Holes end up producing large quantities of gamma rays throughout their lives. This is one of the processes that lead to a Black Hole's demise.


Why do all stars end in a supernova?

Oops! Not all stars end up as a supernova. To become a Type 2 supernova, the star has to be between 8 and 50 times larger than the Sun.
