The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.

When binary neutron stars or black holes swirl around each other, they constantly emit gravitational waves, which carry energy away from the system in the form of angular momentum.

The binary black holes are the closest together ever observed in multiple wavelengths. ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO); M. Weiss (NRAO/AUI/NSF) These are hungry black holes as well, as both members of the ...
