black hole merger
Gravitational singularities combining
A black hole merger is the collision and fusion of two black holes into a single, larger black hole.
These cataclysmic events release enormous amounts of energy as gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime first directly detected in 2015.
The gravitational wave signal confirmed a black hole merger 1.3 billion light-years away.
