Astronomers first heard the gravitational wave background of the Universe

The researchers noted that the signal could come from black holes merging and orbiting each other.

A team of scientists from China, India, Europe and Australia have heard for the first time low-frequency gravitational waves flowing through the Milky Way. Space reported it.

For nearly a decade, researchers have been searching for the gravitational background, a faint but persistent echo of gravitational waves thought to be caused by events after the Big Bang. Although physicists are aware of this background, gravitational wave signals are difficult to detect. Now long-term observations have finally confirmed their presence.

According to Vanderbilt University gravitational wave astrophysicist Stephen Taylor, astronomers are not entirely convinced of the hum’s causes, the detected signal is strong evidence, it is consistent with theoretical expectations about gravitational waves that coming from multiple pairs of the most massive black holes in the entire universe.

Experts say the signals could come from supermassive black holes orbiting each other in orbits compressed over millions of years. In this process, they release energy in the form of gravitational waves that reverberate throughout the universe.

In addition, experts emphasize that the background buzz of gravitational waves is becoming more and more significant. This provides evidence for the existence of multiple supermassive black holes that may merge in the next few thousand years.

It was previously reported that astronomers have released an image of a dark nebula known as LDN 1622.
