It depends on the mass of the star. When massive stars die the result is usually an enormous explosion called a supernova, but the core will collapse to form a dense remnant. If the remnant is less than 3 times the mass of the sun then it will form a neutron star. If it is greater than 3 times the mass of the sun it will form a black hole. Extremely massive stars may collapse directly into a black hole with no supernova.

What can form after the supernova of a red giant?

After the supernova of a red giant, remnants such as a neutron star or a black hole can form, depending on the mass of the original star. If the star was especially massive, it may also result in a supermassive black hole or a hypernova explosion.


What happens to a massive star after it runs out of fuel?

When a massive star runs out of fuel, it undergoes a supernova explosion. The core of the star collapses under gravity, leading to the formation of a neutron star or black hole, depending on the final mass of the star. The outer layers of the star are expelled into space, enriching the surrounding environment with heavy elements.


How stars turn into a black hole?

Stars have to be 100 times more massive than our sun in order to become a black hole. When the star dies, it explodes violently (which is called a supernova) and then gravitational collapse causes it to form into a black hole.


Will Betelgeuse become a white dwarf?

It's difficult to know exactly what Betelgeuse will become, but it will most likely explode as a supernova. The result will probably be a black hole, but depending on the magnitude of the explosion, it could become a neutron star or pulsar.


How isa black hole form?

A black hole forms when a massive star collapses under its own gravity after running out of nuclear fuel. This collapse causes the star to explode in a supernova and the remaining core implodes, forming a singularity with infinite density and gravity, surrounded by an event horizon from which nothing can escape, including light. This marks the birth of a black hole.

What do red giants become after they run out of fuel?

They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.


Will any stars in our galaxy that when supernova will turn into a black hole?

Yes actually. But it well basically take billions of years for a hyper-novae star to explode and form. And supernovae do not form Black Holes, they make quasars or neutron stars. Hypernovae- a result of a hyper-class star to explode- will leave a black hole.


How did coal and uranium form?

Coal is produced by sunlight falling on plants. These plants then get fossilised to form the coal.Uranium is formed by Stars as they explode in Supernova explosions.


An explosion of a star?

When a star explodes, it releases an immense amount of energy, creating a supernova. This explosion can outshine an entire galaxy for a short period of time. Supernovae are crucial for the formation of heavy elements and can also cause the star to collapse and form a black hole or neutron star.

What occurs when stars explode?

When a star explodes it creates a supernova. New NASA observations show the residue of what they believe to be "star guts" and the Hubble Space telescope allows scientists to measure the velocity and composition of the supernova caused by the exploding star.

Where did copper form?

Copper can only form in supernova explosions, when a dead star collapses to become either a neutron star or a black hole.


Conclusion of the canis major?

When the canis majoris explodes, it will create a supernova of over 30000 degrees. A supernova is a huge explosion of fire. After the supernova, a black hole will form. Black holes form when a star explodes. But it cant just be a star. It has to be a star 10x greater then our sun. The canis majoris is way bigger then just 10x. So when it explodes it will create a black hole much bigger then normal size.


How are black holes supernovas and black holes form?

Supernova happens when a star that is at least 3 times larger than our sun dies, it will be crush by its own gravity. Then boom, supernova. Then the star acts like a sponge, it will get bigger. That star is not a star anymore, it is a black hole.
