📍 How it ended

Researchers detected the fingerprints of a black hole's event horizon for the first time. This discovery involved a direct wave from colliding black holes that revealed a spacetime whirlpool and evidence of frame dragging.

Scientists reached a region near a black hole previously considered beyond study.

The brief

Researchers may have identified the first fingerprints of a black hole's event horizon. According to Nature, these signatures were revealed by GW250114, which involved a post-merger black-hole horizon.

Coverage from Phys.org and ScienceAlert emphasizes that a binary black hole signal was used to probe the event horizon region for the first time. Other reports from upday News and The News Pakistan describe this as the first detection of the 'point of no return.' Future focus will likely center on the data from the GW250114 signal and further probes into the event horizon region.
