GW200115: Simulation of a Black Hole Merging with a Neutron Star

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This simulation visualizes the gravitational wave event GW200115, where a black hole merged with a neutron star. Detected by the LIGO and Virgo observatories, this event involved a black hole about six times the Sun's mass and a neutron star about 1.5 times the Sun's mass. The visualization helps us understand the dynamics of such extreme cosmic collisions.
