If Star B collapsed into a black hole of roughly the same mass, I don&amp;#x27;t think Star A &amp;amp; its planets would be affected much at all in terms or orbits.  Maybe the Star A system would have been fried when Star B went supernova, but the orbits I don&amp;#x27;t think would change all that much.  It&amp;#x27;s like how people say Earth would continue orbiting the center of our solar system if our sun turned into a black hole, as the center of gravity would be the same.&lt;p&gt;Someone try this w&amp;#x2F; Universe Sandbox &amp;amp; report back please :) =&amp;gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;universesandbox.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;universesandbox.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>maaaaattttt</author><text>If the star is close enough I have a hard time imagining what is happening to its orbiting planets.&lt;p&gt;Did they &amp;quot;de-orbit&amp;quot; during the creation of the black hole?
