Binary Black Holes, Gravitational Waves
GW190521: This graphic shows a still from a numerical relativity simulation consistent with GW190521. The ripples illustrate the spacetime curvature and gravitational waves produced by the pair of merging black holes. [Credit: D. Ferguson, K. Jani, D. Shoemaker, P.
