Sorry for the small image, it was all I could find.
The important thing is to view this short NASA animation:

I'm feeling lazy. What's the story on this? Looks more like something from my
old screensaver than from outer space. Why's NASA got this? Yeah I know i should
go look ...

According to Einstein's math, when two massive black holes merge, all of space
jiggles like a bowl of Jell-O as gravitational waves race out from the collision
at light speed. Previous simulations had been plagued by computer crashes. The
necessary equations, based on Einstein's theory of general relativity, were far
too complex. But scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt,
Md., have found a method to translate Einstein's math in a way that computers
can understand
