Bllack Holes

the star evolves through different stages. Usually if the star is minute in mass, most of the gases will be consumed while a percentage escapes. This occurs because a lack of tremendous gravitational pull upon those gases, and, therefore, the star loses energy and becomes smaller. It is then referred to as a White Dwarf. If the star was to have a larger mass, however, then it may possibly be a Supernova; hence, the nuclear synthesis within the star merely loses control causing the star to explode violently. After exploding, a fraction of the star becomes absent (if it has not turned into interstellar gas), and the remaining of the leftover supernova is known as a neutron star. Becoming a black hole is the last stage of star evolution in some stars. If the core of the star is so massive (approximately 6-8 solar masses), then it is of greater probability that when the star's gases are almost consumed, those gases will collapse inward and will be forced into the core by the gravitational force laid upon them. After a black hole is created, the gravitational force maintains its attraction to the space debris in addition to interstellar matter to increase the mass of the core. This, in turn, makes the hole stronger and more powerful. In conclusion, a black hole is a massive star that has a gravitational field equal to or exceeding the speed of light. The presence of black holes contains certain attributes that are necessary for detection. All black holes tend to be in binary star systems consisting of a spinning motion. This motion absorbs various matters and spins it within the black holes surface, known as the Event Horizon. The matter keeps within the Event Horizon until it has spun into the center, singularity, where it is concentrated within the core adding to the mass. Such spinning black holes are known as Kerr Black Holes. Most black holes orbit around stars, and this may be detrimental to neighboring stars. If a bl...
