Astronomers find evidence for three subpopulations of merging black holes

🌑🌑 Where do merging black holes actually come from? A new gravitational-wave analysis of the GWTC-4 catalog reveals they don't all share the same origin — at least three distinct subpopulations exist, each with its own masses, spin properties, and formation pathway. 🔭⚡ From isolated binary evolution to hierarchical mergers where one black hole is already the product of a previous collision, the findings reshape our understanding of how these objects form across the universe. 🪐📡 Read the full analysis at SKYCR.ORG ⬇️
