Two Black Holes #34
Two black holes orbiting each other. Space-time around the black holes is distorted and this bends the light. As the black holes rotate, they emit gravity waves that distort space-time. Finally, they collapse into each other, emitting a strong gravity wave. The detection of such a wave was confirmed in February 2016.
