A collaboration of researchers including UBC scientists have observed gravitational waves from the collision of what is most likely a neutron star and an object likely to be a light black hole, 650 million light-years from Earth.

    I thoroughly enjoy them calling it a light black hole, as if black holes are just on another scale of massive.

    I can relate to the black hole because I also would try to eat nuclear pasta if I were massive enough.
