This third detection -- which comes after the first in September 2015 and the second in December 2015 -- appears to be the result of two black holes merging and forming a new black hole about 49 ...

In 2015, when we detected gravitational waves for the first time, the observed ripples in space-time matched the predicted signal from two black holes spiralling into one another and merging.

Black holes are getting stranger — even to astronomers. Scientists reported Wednesday they detected the merger of two smaller black holes into the first intermediate sized black hole ever ...

Eventually, those two stars reached the ends of their lives ... In fact, there could be hundreds of large black holes merging every year. Instead of becoming black holes together, it's possible ...

"The two black holes are then unable to lose any further ... "The presence of a third black hole can solve the problem. The dual merging blackholes can transfer their energy to the third blackhole ...
