and then other gas elements such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Helium are consumed.

This chain reaction fuels the star for millions, or billions, of years
depending upon the amount of gases there are. The star manages to avoid
collapsing at this point because of the equilibrium achieved by itself. The
gravitational pull from the core of the star is equal to the gravitational pull
of the gases forming a type of orbit, however when this equality is broken the
star can go into several different stages. Usually if the star is small in mass,
most of the gases will be consumed while some of it escapes. This occurs
because there is not a tremendous gravitational pull upon those gases and
therefore the star weakens and becomes smaller. It is then referred to as a
'White Dwarf'. If the star was to have a larger mass however, then it may
possibly Supernova, meaning that the nuclear fusion within the star simply goes
out of control causing the star to explode. After exploding a ...

of many other stars. The
black hole could then grow even stronger (from the star's mass) as to possibly
absorb another.

When a black hole absorbs a star, the star is first pulled into the
Ergosphere, which sweeps all the matter into the Event Horizon, named for it's
flat horizontal appearance and because this happens to be the place where mostly
all the action within the black hole occurs. When the star is passed on into
the Event Horizon the light that the star endures is bent within the current and
therefore cannot be seen in space. At this exact point in time, high amounts of
radiation are given off, that with the proper equipment can be detected and seen
as an image of a black ...
