Black holes are formed when massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel and undergo gravitational collapse. As the core contracts, it can no longer support itself against gravity, leading to a supernova explosion that ejects the outer layers. If the remaining core's mass exceeds a certain threshold (approximately three solar masses), it collapses into a black hole, creating a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape. Additionally, black holes can also form through the merging of neutron stars or the accumulation of mass in dense regions of space.
