A black hole is expected to form when a very massive star collapses at the end of its life cycle and forms a body with a huge mass but which takes up a relatively small space. The black hole (which is actually a solid body) can continue to grow by absorbing material from bodies around it, until its total mass equals that of millions of stars.
