 How are black holes created in Space?

A black hole is an incredibly dense celestial object whose gravity is so strong, not even light can escape it. Black holes form under extreme scenarios, often after a star runs out of fuel and collapses upon itself. Through a complex process, the star’s gravity eventually reaches a point where it becomes large enough to form a black hole.

The key element in any black hole formation is gravity. A star will typically have a mass approximately 2-3 times the mass of our Sun. When a star has insufficient hydrogen fuels to produce a nucleosynthesis, the star will eventually contract and collapse under the extreme pull of gravity. As the outer layers of the star’s atmosphere draw closer and closer together, their combined mass squeezes the star’s core.

The core, which is the most dense portion of the star, will become absolutely massive in size and gravity, allowing it to absorb the material around it while increasing its own mass. In the beginning, the star will start out as a protostar and increase in luminosity as its core compacts. Eventually, the star's mass will reach a critical point of gravity, where it can no longer hold itself up against the pressure and the protostar turns into a baby neutron star.

If the mass of the collapsed star is still large enough, the neutron star will eventually collapse to and form a black hole. A black hole is formed when the gravitational pull of a massive object is so strong that it can no longer be contained by a sphere of nuclear force. As the object continues to collapse, its gravity eventually becomes strong enough to force light and particles away, creating a region of space-time where not even light is able to escape.

In short, black holes form when a massive star runs out of fuel and can no longer produce nuclear fusion. For extremely large stars composed mainly of hydrogen, the star’s fuel is eventually consumed. This causes the star to collapse under its own gravity, resulting in a protostar that, as it gains enough mass, transforms into a neutron star and, then, eventually, a black hole. Once a black hole is formed, it is unable to give out radiation and thus exists in perpetual darkness.
