it takes a lot of pressure to overcome the force of neutron degeneracy, only very massive stars have strong enough gravity to do this at their core. when it happens the core collapses suddenly, becoming a black hole and conservation of momentum ejects the rest of the star as a powerful supernova.

Do stars ever into black holes?
Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.
What will most massive stars form?
The most massive stars will form ultra large stars, which will collapse into black holes upon their demise.
When do black holes appear mostly?
Most black holes are believed to form when very massive stars die.
Do stars ever turn into black?
Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.
Medium size stars become black holes true or false?
False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.
Where are neutron stars located at in the universe?
Mostly in galaxies, where they can form Super Massive Black Holes.
Where did a black hole come from?
Most black holes form when massive stars exhaust their fuel and their cores collapse. There are also supermassive black holes at the centers of most galaxies. Scientists are not sure how supermassive black holes form.
What force causes extremely high mass stars to turn into black holes instead of nuetron stars?
Black holes are formed by super massive stars when they collapse. Less massive stars will form neutron stars. Therefore, the original size and mass of the star will determine if a black hole will be created when the star collapses.
Did galaxies form around super massive black holes?
It's generally believed that galaxies first formed around "ordinary" black holes and over time, they grew into super massive black holes as stars were slowly "consumed" by the black hole.
Will the sun end its life as a black hole?
No. Only the most massive stars form black holes. When the sun dies it will form a white dwarf.
How does a black holes acquire greatest mass?
Most black holes are stellar mass black holes with masses comparable to those of large stars as they form from the collapse of massive stars. Scientists know of the existence of supermassive black holes that are millions to billions of times the mass of our sun and can be found in the centers of most galaxies. Scientists still do not know how these black holes become so massive.
What is more common in our galaxy white dwarfs or stellar mass black holes?
There are more white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars can form black holes. White dwarfs form from low to medium mass stars, which far outnumber the supermassive ones.
