How Do Stars Die and Become Neighbors to Black Holes?

Stars can live long lives, but they also die in dramatic ways. Imagine a big ball of fire that burns for millions of years, it's like a star! When the fire runs out, it explodes or collapses into something new, like a black hole neighbor. Some stars even become close friends with black holes before dying.
