Scientists record a black hole collision they weren’t sure was possible The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

By Jacopo Prisco, CNN (CNN) — A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever recorded, according to new research. A ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

Two black holes merged into one massive one, scientists from an international collaborative group said.

How was the collision of two black holes detected? The two black holes were spinning at about 400,000 times faster than the Earth’s rotation when they collided, billions of years ago.
