Probably both; at the end of its life, a very massive star like Rigel or Betelgeuse will experience a titanic explosion that will crush the core of the star into a black hole, while blasting the outer layers of the star into space. The supernova will shine for several months, and fade into obscurity, but the black hole will probably exist forever.

At least, if our mathematical theories concerning black holes is correct, which is always open to debate. It is at least remotely possible that everything we think we know about black holes will turn out to be incorrect, and that we will have to refine our theories on the basis of new discoveries as we venture forth into the universe.

Rigel is expected to end its life as a supernova, as it has a mass that is likely insufficient to become a black hole. Supernovae occur when massive stars like Rigel exhaust their nuclear fuel and undergo a catastrophic explosion, while black holes are formed from the remnants of even more massive stars.

What would happen to a black hole if it was devouring a star and the star went supernova?

The gasses ejected from the supernova would probably transfer enough momentum to the black hole to blast it away from the exploding star. The black hole would gain some mass from the gasses.


What is a black hole made from?

A giant star that ends it life in a supernova


Will a supernova cause a black whole?

Either a black hole, or a neutron star. That depends on how much mass is left after the supernova explosion.


What can form after the supernova of a red giant?

After the supernova of a red giant, remnants such as a neutron star or a black hole can form, depending on the mass of the original star. If the star was especially massive, it may also result in a supermassive black hole or a hypernova explosion.


Is a black hole a supernova remnant?

No, a black hole is not typically a supernova remnant. A black hole is formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, creating a region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape. On the other hand, a supernova remnant is the leftover material from a massive star's explosion in a supernova event.

What is made after a supernova?

After a Supernova explosion, a Black Hole is created. Thats right.... Stars make black holes! Here is the life cycle of stars! Not the real one, just... when it turns into a black hole. Gases in space> Bigger gasses in space> A pretty star> Still a normal star> Old dwarf star> SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION> Giant Black Hole! Tada!
