"When two black holes spiral toward each other and merge they warp spacetime so violently that they release a massive burst of energy - not as light but as gravitational waves. These ripples travel across the universe stretching and squeezing space itself. For a tiny fraction of a second the energy released can outshine all the stars in the observable universe - not in brightness but in total power output. We detect these collisions using ultra-sensitive observatories like LIGO and Virgo which measure these faint ripples in spacetime from millions or even billions of light-years away"

"Kepler had found that Mars moves about the Sun not in a circle but in an ellipse. The other planets have orbits much less elliptical than that of Mars and if Tycho had urged him to study the motion of say Venus Kepler might never have discovered the true orbits of the planets. In such an orbit the Sun is not at the center but is offset at the focus of the ellipse. When a given planet is at its nearest to the Sun it speeds up. When it is at its farthest it slows down. Such motion is why we describe the planets as forever falling toward but never reaching the Sun. Keplers first law of planetary"
