A faint visible-light flash moments after a high-energy gamma-ray burst likely heralds the merger of two dense neutron stars to create a relatively low-mass black hole, said Neil Gehrels of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. It is the first time an optical counterpart to a very short-duration gamma-ray burst has ever been detected.

Does anybody else see a shark outline from the blue part in the middle. Kinda like the jaws poster, except a little diagonal. I am just saying that black holes are actually just giant space sharks feeding on everything nearby.
