A ‘direct wave’ from colliding black holes reveals signature of a whirlpool in spacetime

Black holes are some of the most mysterious objects in the universe, but they aren’t always silent. When two black holes are close enough to each other, they spiral towards one another, eventually crashing in an enormous explosion and forming a single, larger black hole from the combination.
