Decoding A Massive Black Hole Collision

Researchers collaborate to understand black holes — and life's origins.

Astrophysicists at the University of Manitoba joined an international team to explore the largest-ever-detected black hole collision.

Their evolving research could provide new insights into how black holes shape galaxies and influence our universe.

“This is the most massive black hole binary we’ve observed through gravitational waves, and it presents a real challenge to our understanding of black hole formation.”
