This extraordinary discovery opens the way in astronomy to study gravitational waves. Huge advances both in fundamental physics astrophysics are expected in the coming years.   A binary system of two black holes that is very close to the final coalescence. The intense gravitational field distorts the effect of the gravitational deflect
