Black Holes 2

Everyday we
look out upon the night sky, wondering and
dreaming of what lies beyond our planet. The
universe that we live in is so diverse and unique,
and it interests us to learn about all the variance
that lies beyond our grasp. Within this marvel of
wonders our universe holds a mystery that is very
difficult to understand because of the
complications that arise when trying to examine
and explore the principles of space. That mystery
happens to be that of the ever clandestine, black
hole. This essay will hopefully give you the
knowledge and understanding of the concepts,
properties, and processes involved with the space
phenomenon of the black hole. It will describe
how a black hole is generally formed, how it
functions, and the effects it has on the universe. In
order to understand what exactly a black hole is,
we must first take a look at the basis for the cause
of a black hole. All black holes are formed from
the gravitational collapse of a star, usually having a
great, massive, core. A star is created when huge,
gigantic, gas clouds bind together due to attractive
forces and form a hot core, combined from all the
energy of the two gas clouds. This energy
produced is so great when it first collides, that a
nuclear reaction occurs and the gases within the
star start to burn continuously. The Hydrogen gas
is usually the first type of gas consumed in a star
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
fraction of the star is usually left (if it has not turned
into pure gas) and that fraction of the star is
known as a neutron star. ...
