Given the distance these may be pretty massive BHs.

LIGO has ​already found another Gravitational Wave

2019-04-09 Thread John Clark
LIGO has only been back on for a few days but already they have detected a
new gravitational wave from a Black Hole merger slightly under 5 billion
light years away.  They've decided to stop most of the secrecy and report
things as soon as they find them, so they haven't finished calculating how
massive they were yet.

Just after turning back on another wave found
