Given the circumstances, I felt that this act of coalescing around a common goal created a ray of light in an otherwise dark situation.
… The strongest gravitational waves are produced by catastrophic events such as colliding black holes the collapse of stellar cores (supernovae) coalescing neutron stars or white dwarf stars the slightly wobbly rotation of neutron stars that are not perfect spheres and the remnants of gravitational radiation created by the birth of the universe itself.
We never knew for sure that they would be stars that could turn into black holes in pairs and then merge together to form this coalescing black hole and make this huge burst of gravitational energy to come out.
