#  @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. ### Engagements: [-------] [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/interactions)  - [--] Week [---------] +53% - [--] Month [----------] +28% - [--] Months [----------] -38% - [--] Year [-----------] -37% ### Mentions: [---] [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/posts_active)  - [--] Week [---] -14% - [--] Month [-----] +13% - [--] Months [-----] +73% - [--] Year [------] +20% ### Followers: [-------] [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/followers)  - [--] Week [-------] +0.28% - [--] Month [-------] +1.90% - [--] Months [-------] +9.60% - [--] Year [-------] +28% ### CreatorRank: [------] [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/influencer_rank)  ### Social Influence **Social category influence** [countries](/list/countries) 2.98% [travel destinations](/list/travel-destinations) 1.94% [technology brands](/list/technology-brands) 1.79% [automotive brands](/list/automotive-brands) 1.19% [finance](/list/finance) 1.04% [stocks](/list/stocks) 1.04% [celebrities](/list/celebrities) 0.6% [social networks](/list/social-networks) 0.45% [cryptocurrencies](/list/cryptocurrencies) 0.45% [exchanges](/list/exchanges) 0.15% **Social topic influence** [in the](/topic/in-the) #5950, [constellation](/topic/constellation) #31, [solar](/topic/solar) #149, [gas](/topic/gas) #704, [the most](/topic/the-most) #4144, [sun](/topic/sun) #739, [core](/topic/core) #1508, [star](/topic/star) #1843, [milky way](/topic/milky-way) #111, [light](/topic/light) #2015 **Top accounts mentioned or mentioned by** [@stellarixorine](/creator/undefined) [@grok](/creator/undefined) [@fishtankssuck](/creator/undefined) [@svijnana43186](/creator/undefined) [@jeffschadow1](/creator/undefined) [@misha_rigaaa](/creator/undefined) [@ryszarpjasinski](/creator/undefined) [@arealrocketman](/creator/undefined) [@bostedercarla](/creator/undefined) [@eduardobar13571](/creator/undefined) [@shine_musk](/creator/undefined) [@bensam123tv](/creator/undefined) [@stupidscotus](/creator/undefined) [@roghaye21245484](/creator/undefined) [@the_brian_life](/creator/undefined) [@jacobbaker613](/creator/undefined) [@hpchlo](/creator/undefined) [@felix111234](/creator/undefined) [@orangemenbadtds](/creator/undefined) [@dandyeofficial](/creator/undefined) **Top assets mentioned** [Tesla, Inc.

@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.
