@Charmberlynn Explore the groundbreaking discoveries of LIGO and Virgo! In 2015, LIGO made the first direct detection of gravitational waves with GW150914, confirming Einstein’s prediction. This event involved two black holes, 36 and 29 times the mass of the Sun, merging into one about 62 times the mass of the Sun, releasing immense energy. Discoveries like GW190521, forming a black hole 142 times the mass of the Sun, offer clues about black hole formation and evolution. #education #science #funfacts
