For the first time, light could be seen from two colliding black holes.

For the first time, astronomers may have seen light from two colliding black holes.

As the name suggests, black holes they are very dark and therefore cannot be seen in telescopes. However, the only way astronomers could “observe” colliding black holes was by detecting the emerging gravitational waves.

As gravitational waves they are created by extreme collisions between large celestial objects. Ever since they were first discovered in 2015, researchers have tried to understand their origins and what might have created them.

In new observations, scientists think they may have first seen the light of what could be the merging of two black holes, write a portal Space…

In a statement published NASA, the space agency explains that although black holes are believed to be completely dark, they could emit light through the material around them…

Now scientists who used Caltech’s Zwicky Temporary Laboratory (ZTF) may have pinpointed this scenario. If confirmed, it will be first known flash of light from a pair of colliding black holes…

The merger in question was identified on May 21, 2019 by two gravitational wave detectors during an event called GW190521g.

This possible observation allowed astronomers to look for light signals from where the gravitational wave signal was coming from.
