    group of stars movement that orbits an area in a space. In other words, when gas enters stellar black hole from a companion star, the gas twists inwards, heating at a very high temperature and producing huge amounts of radiation that can be noticed from earthbound and earth-orbiting telescopes. Locations that black holes can easily be found have been identified. One likely area is at the middle of galaxies.

According to NASA, as the star runs out of fuel, a portion of the stars mass flows towards the core. This causes the core to grow and eventually due to the gravitational forces of the star, collapses the core causing a spectacular explosion. While it is theorized that a supernova occurs once every second in the universe, few…
