Third Gravitational Wave Event Detected

In February 2016, LIGO detected gravity waves for the first time. As this artist's illustration depicts, the gravitational waves were created by merging black holes. The third detection just announced was also created when two black holes merged. Credit: LIGO/A. Simonnet.

LIGO has detected a third instance of gravitational waves. Like the previous two, this one was caused by merging black holes.
