Third gravitational wave detection offers new insight into black holes
Friday, 2 Jun 2017

We detected a third binary black hole merger with the LIGO gravitational wave detectors. The black holes merged about 3 billion years ago and travelled through earth on 4 January 2017.

The detection is published in Physical Review Letters, a science summary can be found on the LIGO website. Members of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) are part of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.
