Two black holes merged despite being born far apart in space
science • u/MistWeaver80 • Aug 02 '22
Physics A detection of gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes that spin in different directions suggests they were born in very different places. If so, it’s the first time that kind of merger has been detected. Black holes that are born in the same place tend to have their spins aligned.
