Back in 2019, researchers observed a collision between two black holes of wildly different masses. New analysis has revealed that the collision produced a massive recoil, sending the newly formed black hole moving so fast that it is no longer bound by the gravity of the globular cluster where it was born.

A new study published this week has confirmed a prediction about black holes that Stephen Hawking made more than 50 years ago. Using LIGO, Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, experts were able to measure the massive collision between two black holes.

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made by Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

"This is amongst the top 10 most massive black holes ever discovered, and quite possibly the most massive." About 5 billion light-years away from where you're sitting, in one of the most massive galaxies on record, there exists an astonishing black hole.
