Monitor the emergence of a giant black hole at 9 billion light-years

An international team of astronomers recorded gravitational waves resulting from the fusion of black holes, thus forming a giant new black hole, distant 9 billion light-years away.

According to a report from the Australian National University of Canberra, the new black hole would be about 80 times the size of the sun.

Black holes increased their rotation before melting, scientists said, helping them observe the intensity of the intense gravitational wave. It was an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of astronomical observation.

The collision of black holes is a rare and unique phenomenon: the place of the collision does not prevent any space crime from leaving, even if it flies at the speed of light.

In 2017, astronomers only tracked the phenomenon, over a distance of 3 to 6 billion light years.

The recording of gravitational waves, coming from these distant black holes, will allow scientists to make adjustments in the design of the telescopes, which will allow them one day to look at the beginning of the universe.

The first gravity waves were recorded in 2015 by the LIGO telescope. American physicists Rainer Weiss and Perry Birch won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for achieving this goal.
