It's #BlackHoleWeek! What happens when two black holes merge? Gravitational waves may help solve this mystery and NSF @NANOGrav is on a mission to find the answer. Watch this video to learn more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2EKbvnee3o

1/ It’s #BlackHoleWeek! ⚫🌌 This week we’ll show you what ESO telescopes 🔭 have been up to since last year in the study of black holes. Starting with finding the link between the explosive deaths of massive stars and black hole formation! 💥🌌 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPImj75Zl10

When two black holes merge they emit a huge amount of energy as gravitational waves. The peak luminosity in gravitational waves is greater than the luminosity in visible light of all the stars we can see in the Universe #BlackHoleWeek 🎬: SXS Collaboration pic.twitter.com/BhXoXGauGE

While black holes are known for pulling in matter, their surroundings can emit enormous amounts of light. In fact, their environments can even shoot jets of matter at nearly the speed of light. #MondayMotivation #BlackHoleWeek pic.twitter.com/k9MctAJ78o
