Stellar Black Holes
A stellar black hole (or stellar-mass black hole) is a black hole formed by the gravitational collapse of a star. They have masses ranging from about 5 to several tens of solar masses. They can be the remnants of supernova explosions, but other formation mechanisms may operate.
Why Stellar Black Holes matters:
Stars are the engines of the cosmos -- they forge the chemical elements, light up galaxies, and create the conditions that make planets and life possible.
