The star had approximately 200 solar masses. I "burned" through it's Hydrogen core; switching to Helium and exploded during it's Oxygen core phase(most stars continue through this phase to an Iron core); completely annihilating itself!
After the supernova collapses on itself how long will it take for a black hole to form?
It depends on whether it's a massive star or a neutron star, and how it dies. It could take anywhere from as quickly as a tenth of a second to as long as a million years or more to form a black hole.

I get the impression the star totally destroyed itself...leaving no core to "collapse" into a Black Hole. This is my first time hearing of a star going Nova during the oxygen core phase...but I may simply not have known about it? The initial explosion released positrons and they annihilated electrons... so an antimatter explosion to some extent; assuming I understand the article...which I think I do.

Like this new star....which you would assume should have collapsed into a Black Hole, but didn't; there are many variables and different scenarios in forming Black Holes. The one at our Galactic center appears to be "coming back to life" as nearby stars tighten their orbits arount it, giving it "fuel" to consume.
THANK YOU...very much..it was a crappy picture; considering the "Big Announcement"....PITTS.
