"This detection is extremely exciting," said a NASA astrophysicist.Astronomers tracked down what they think might be an extremely rare explosion in space: a powerful flash of light that they think came from a pair of merging black holes, almost like a gigantic cosmic emergency flare.
In May 2019, NASA astronomers picked up on the telltale gravitational waves given off by a black hole merger,. 34 days later, an observatory noticed the explosion coming from the exact same region of the sky. If the two are actually related — the astronomers aren't yet positive — it would mean NASA has unusual new data that could help explain the mysteries of black holes.
