"An Unimaginable Breakthrough": Loudest-Ever Gravitational Wave Collision Proves Stephen Hawking Correct. It depicts the view from one of the black holes as it spirals toward its cosmic partner. waves are made visible by twisting the spacey background behind and creating ribbons that spiral towards the black hole at the cener.

Largest Ever Space-Based Gravitational Wave Observatory Begins ConstructionThe image features thick red-to-white lines suggestive of light beams tracing a triangle in space. The three tips of the triangle point to the left, right and lower-centre parts of the image. On the left is a bright white-to-pink spiral-shaped swirl, dotted with white points and representing a galaxy. On the right, two bright white swirls (galaxies) are connected by brown filaments, dotted with orange-to-white spots. The dark blue background is overlaid with grey undulating grid-lines that trace waves in space, like waves in the sea
