🌀 Some black holes spend millions of years locked in an orbital dance before colliding.
Binary black hole systems slowly spiral toward each other over millions of years, losing energy through gravitational waves, until they eventually merge in a violent collision 💥 These mergers are exactly what LIGO detects here on Earth, even though they happen billions of light-years away.
💬 Could you imagine watching two black holes merge?
