Gravitational Waves Reveal Most Massive Black Hole Merger Ever Observed
Jul 17, 2025 - 18:00

The GW231123 event marks the most massive black hole merger ever detected through gravitational waves, involving black holes of 100 and 140 solar masses. Observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network, it challenges current black hole formation models with extreme mass and spin, suggesting a complex origin. Scientists believe its full implications may take years to decode.
