The usual way a black hole forms is the following. A massive star ends its life in a huge supernova explosion. After that, the star runs out of fuel and collapses, due to its gravity. Actually, any star will collapse, whether it became a supernova or not. A supernova explosion can blow off much of a star's mass into space; in some cases, the star can blow up completely, leaving no remains. In any case, depending on how much mass remains once the star runs out of fuel, what remains will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star, possibly a quark star (quark stars are still very hypothetical), or a black hole. The most massive stars become black holes.

What avoids radiation from supernovas and the effects of black holes?

To avoid the harmful radiation from supernovas and the effects of black holes, one must be located at a safe distance from these cosmic events. Supernovas release intense bursts of radiation and energetic particles, while black holes exert strong gravitational forces that can affect nearby objects. Additionally, shielding materials, such as lead or water, can help protect against radiation exposure. Ultimately, being in a stable, well-shielded environment far from such phenomena is key to safety.

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.


I want to know all about Black holes in the universe?

Black holes occur when supernovas explode, leaving their remnants of the core; a neutron star. If this is heavy enough, it will become a black hole. Nothing, not even light, can escape a Black Hole. So, obviously, we cannot see them with our own eyes or through our telescopes, but Black Holes are found by their gravitational affect on other stars around them, and tell tale signs of accretion discs (where a companion star is being pulled apart by the hole's gravity) circling around it. Steady X ray and gamma rays are produced by a black hole also.


About how often do supernovas occur in the park?

Do supernovas form black holes why?

A supernova can become a neutron star, or a black hole. Whether it becomes one or the other depends on the mass that remains after the supernova explosion (remember, part of the matter is blown into space). The more massive objects become black holes. As to the "why", this is because after a certain mass limit, there is no known force that can stop gravity.
