Just press play to watch two black holes merge. Inspired by the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO, this simulation video plays in slow motion but would take about one third of a second if run in real time. Set on a cosmic stage the black holes are posed in front of stars, gas, and dust. Their extreme gravity lenses the light from behind them into Einstein rings as they spiral closer and finally merge into one. The otherwise invisible gravitational waves generated as the massive objects rapidly coalesce cause the visible image to ripple and slosh both inside and outside the Einstein rings even after the black holes have merged. Dubbed GW150914, the gravitational waves detected by LIGO are consistent with the merger of 36 and 29 solar mass black holes at a distance of 1.3 billion light-years. The final, single black hole has 62 times the mass of the Sun, with the remaining 3 solar masses converted into energy in gravitational waves.

🎥 Just press play to watch two black holes merge! 受到LIGO首次直接探測引力波的啟發，這段模擬視頻以慢動作播放，但如果以實時速度運行，僅需約三分之一秒。這段視頻設置在宇宙舞台上，黑洞置於恆星、氣體和塵埃前面。它們極端的重力將背後的光線透過愛因斯坦環進行透鏡化，隨著它們逐漸接近並最終合併為一個黑洞。即使在黑洞合併之後，由於這些巨大的物體迅速合併所產生的無法見到的引力波，也會使可見圖像在愛因斯坦環內部和外部波動和起伏。
被稱為GW150914，LIGO探測到的引力波與36和29個太陽質量的黑洞合併一致，距離1.3億光年。最終的單一黑洞質量達到62個太陽質量，剩餘的3個太陽質量則轉化為引力波中的能量。
