Black Hole Collisions Tell a Tale of Repeating Mergers

GW250114, a powerful collision between two black holes recently observed in gravitational waves. Scientists are studying black holes to find out if they are "first-generation" or "second-generation" creations made during collisions. Credits: Image credit: Aurore Simonnet (SSU/EdEon)/LVK/URI

A black hole merger is one of the Universe’s most energetic and massive events. During such a collision, two black holes orbit closer and closer until they collide and become a much more massive black hole. The event also gives off radiation and, as it happens, gravitational waves. They help tell the story of the two objects involved in the collision.
