Physicists Help Observe Second Instance of Gravitational Waves from Two Black Holes Colliding

An international team of scientists has today (Wednesday 16 June 2016) announced a belated Christmas present for the world of astronomy as it confirms the detection, on Boxing Day 2015, of gravitational waves from a second instance of two black holes colliding. This latest finding opens the door on a new age of astronomy.
