      The smaller black holes are formed when a very big star dies. The star collapses and forms a black hole. For the bigger black holes, called ‘supermassive’, we are still not sure how they were formed

      Black holes form from when stars become unstable towards the end of their lives and collapse due to their struggle against gravity.
