Everything star eventually has an end. A black hole is the last stage of some stars. When the fuel of star ends it converts into core and then finally into either a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

Stars are thought to become black holes because, if they are massive enough, the outward pressure can't balance against the inward pull of gravitational force. Throughout a usual star's lifetime the outward pressure is generated by nuclear processes releasing heat energy; however, when the fuel is exhausted this outward pressure weakens and the star begins to collapse. Other pressures may prevent further collapse (like electron degeneracy pressure in a white dwarf, or neutron degeneracy pressure in a neutron star) but if these are insufficient in cases when the mass is large enough, the stellar remnant may collapse into a black hole.

No, but some stars end their life by becoming a black hole.


What does a massive supernova become?

If enough mass is left over after the supernova explosion, i.e. after material is blown off into space, the star will become a black hole. Less massive stars will become neutron stars. A neutron star can convert to a black hole later, if enough matter falls into it.


How many stars did this black hole eat?
