Dark Matter Particles Could Be Key To Supermassive Black Holes’ Merger MysteryWhile surrounded by material it is easy for black holes to fall towards each other, but how they cross the last stretch takes some explaining, once all the nearby matter has been expelled.

The Bizarre Behind-The-Scenes Story Of The First-Ever Detection Of Gravitational Waves still from a computer simulation. This simulation shows how the merger would appear to our eyes if we could somehow travel in a spaceship for a closer look. Distant stars appear warped due to the incredibly strong gravity of the black holes. The black holes warp space and time, and this causes light from the stars to curve around the black holes in a process called gravitational lensing. The ring around the black holes, known as an Einstein ring, arises from the light of all the stars in a small region behind the holes, where gravitational lensing has smeared their images into a ring.
