First Detection of Baby Black Hole’s Gravitational Waves
Introduction to the Discovery In a groundbreaking revelation, astronomers have recorded the first-ever measurement of a newborn black hole’s speed and trajectory. This monumental finding stems from the detection of gravitational waves produced when a newly formed black hole was ejected from the site of its parent black holes’ merger. The event offers unprecedented insights…

The First Sound of a Newborn Black Hole: A Gravitational Wave Breakthrough
Introduction to Gravitational Waves Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime caused by the acceleration of massive objects, such as colliding black holes or neutron stars. These waves were first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916, but it was not until 2015 that we detected them for the first time. Since then, they have opened a…
