Hydrogen and helium; those two elements are the fuel for the stars. First they fuse hydrogen to helium, later they fuse helium to heavier elements.

What is the fate of all-stars regardless of size?

All stars go through a life cycle that includes formation, main sequence stage (like our Sun), expansion into red giants, and eventually either becoming a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole depending on its mass. Ultimately, all stars will exhaust their nuclear fuel and cease to emit light.


What are the steps as to creating a black hole?

First you will need a large area of space. Next, you will need a Neutron star that is about to die. You will probably need a planet/star if you want to see a black hole consume it. After getting everything, go far out as you can to watch. The neutron star will expand and strange things will happen. The star will expand. Then two gamma ray bursts will appear at both sides of the star. Soon the black hole inside the star will eat the star up and now you will have a black hole. Then the black hole will eat the planet that you put next to it. It will look weird because the immense gravity of the black hole will alter the light around it. The planet/star will be a line. Run away as fast as you can unless you want to die.


Why do all-stars eventually die?

All stars have a limited lifespan because they eventually run out of fuel to sustain nuclear fusion in their cores. Once a star exhausts its fuel, it undergoes a series of transformations that may end in a supernova explosion or it may collapse into a dense remnant like a neutron star or black hole. This process marks the end of a star's life cycle.


What will happen if the red giant star explodes?

If a red giant star explodes, it can result in a supernova event where the star releases an enormous amount of energy and material into space. This explosion can lead to the formation of elements heavier than iron and can also result in the formation of a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the size of the star.
