Ciao,
scorrendo la timeline di Reddit ho trovato una simulazione molto interessante.
Il video mostra come un buco nero inghiotte una massa asimmetrica (un altro buco nero più piccolo) e mostra tutto il processo orbitale.
Ecco il video:

È affascinante.
Aggiungo la descrizione più tecnica del video:
Numerical simulation of a black-hole binary merger with asymmetric masses and orbital precession (GW190412).
Numerical simulation of two black holes that inspiral and merge, emitting gravitational waves. One black hole is 3.5x more massive than the other and spins, which makes the orbit precess. The simulated gravitational wave signal is consistent with the observation made by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors on April 12th, 2019 (GW190412).
Details on the visualization:
* The „apparent horizon“ of the black holes in the simulation are shown in black. At 1:09 the simulation finds an enveloping apparent horizon that signals the two black holes have merged.
* The gravitational radiation is translated to colors around the black holes. The colors transition from blue, representing weak radiation, to red, representing strong radiation. Specifically, the coloring represents the real part of the gravitational wave strain with its inverse radial scaling removed for visualization. The strain is computed from the simulation’s extrapolated waveform, which is shown at the bottom of the screen.
