When a star collapses in on itself it causes a
supernova which is a massive explosion

White Dwarf Black Hole Neutron Star

Brown Dwarf A neutron star is formed when a star collapses

but does not have enough mass to form a black
hole. Generally neutron stars are very small ~
Black Dwarf 30km across and it consists out of very densely
packed neutrons.

A black hole is an infinitely dense point in space

which has a gravitational pull that is so strong
that no matter or even light can escape past its
event horizon
