There are two types of stars: a small kind, like our Sun, and larger stars. Smaller stars live out long lives, then expand into Red Giants, then puff out their edges, creating a nebula and a white dwarf star. For larger stars, their life is much smaller and more violent ending. When a larger star dies, it expands into a Red Supergiant, then explodes in what's known as a Supernova. For a Supergiant whose core mass isn't too large, it turns into a neutron star. If the core's mass if greater, the gravity is so great, that it collapses in on itself, creating a black hole that will collapse itself by its own gravity and will go on collapsing till it becomes a black hole.
