    ... Around 32 of the events were most likely to be caused by black hole mergers – two black holes spiralling around each other that finally join together. Several of the black holes formed from these mergers exceed 100 times the mass of our Sun, and are...

    ... GW150914 is of primordial origin, in addition their studies estimate that aLIGO will detect roughly 1 primordial black hole – black hole (BH – BH) merger per year when modifications to aLIGO have been implemented later this year, although this rate...
