The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

Astronomers have made a historic breakthrough: for the first time, a black hole has been observed consuming a neutron star,an event so powerful it sent ripples through the very fabric of space-time.

Astronomers have detected the largest black hole merger ever, and it has challenged their understanding of such formations.
