As it turns out, most massive stars don't explode but collapse straight into a black hole. Simulations reveal: the explosion fizzles out in seconds, and the black hole swallows almost everything. This upends our understanding of stellar life and death.

🎯 A black hole's mass can reach 26 solar masses — that's like squeezing nine million Earths into an invisible point, around which light wraps into a ring.
