New York, July 18 -- Two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, collided and merged into each other, in what is dubbed as the largest merger of its kind ever recorded, according to new research.
A team of astronomers discovered the event, dubbed GW231123, when the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) - a pair of identical instruments located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington - detected faint ripples in space-time produced by two black holes slamming into each other. Physicists call such ripples gravitational waves, reported CNN.
LIGO detected the gravitational waves for the very first time when black holes collided in 2016. Since the first detection of gravitational waves, LIGO and its si...
