Binary Black Hole Merger

Artwork of a binary black hole merger. In cases like GW241011 and GW241110, where at least one black hole rotates in a peculiar direction relative to the orbital plane, the unusual spins offer hints about how the system formed. Credit: Carl Knox, OzGrav, Swinburne University of Technology
