A massive star exploded some time about 9 billion years ago.
The rocky debris from this explosion crashed into the hydrogen, field that spawned the big star.
The cigar shaped debris caused a giant smoke ring,of hydrogen and the debris.
The result is our solar system.
The large star left a stellar remnant of incredible density.
A white dwarf,of about 2.5 solar masses and a diameter of about 100 km.
the white dwarf could collapse down to about 12 km in diameter,and is called a neutron star.
A black hole would be the next step with a diameter of about 3 km.
An entity with a strong gravitational field such that light could not escape the surface,so a black hole.
A black hole is a theoretical entity with no proof that it exists.
I do not believe a black hole can exist,but I will not go into that part of it.
At least you will have something to think about. Happy thinking!

An amazing site for these facts is wikipedia..I will leave a link for oyu. Search for keywords like 'black hole' and 'solar system' and you will get a plethora of information to quench the thirst of knowledge you are experiencing.
