Stellar black hole

A black hole is a very strong gravity pit in space that sucks in anything that gets too close to it, like a vacuum cleaner. A stellar black hole is a type of black hole that is made from the leftovers of a large star that has died.

When a star runs out of nuclear fuel, it explodes in a supernova, leaving behind a core made of extremely dense material called a neutron star. If the core is heavy enough, the gravity becomes so strong that it squashes the core down to an infinitely small point called a singularity, creating a black hole.

Stellar black holes are very small compared to other types of black holes, only a few kilometers wide, but they have a lot of mass. They are also invisible because they don't emit any light, making them difficult to detect. Scientists can find them by looking at the behavior of nearby stars that are being affected by the strong gravity of the black hole.

Stellar black holes are incredibly powerful, and even light cannot escape their gravitational pull once it gets too close. This makes them very dangerous, and it's important that we study them to better understand the universe and the effects of gravity.
