@konstructivizm Black Hole

Astronomers have discovered possible evidence of a triple black hole system by analyzing a gravitational wave signal. This system is being studied after a black hole merger event, which showed an anomalous acceleration that could be explained by the presence of a third black hole. The discovery provides new insights into these complex cosmic systems.
