Scientists have captured the clearest signal yet of a black hole collision, confirming Stephen Hawking's theory.

Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015.

When LIGO detected gravitational waves unleashed from two colliding black holes for the first time in science history, it set off a whole new era in astronomy.
