Abstract
On September 14, 2015 the two LIGO detectors nearly simultaneously detected gravitational wave signals from two merging Black Holes at more than one billion light years distance. Numerical relativity models confirmed the waveform came from two Black Holes of 29 and 36 solar masses merged to create a final Black Hole with mass 62 and in the process of merging in less than 1/5 second radiated gravitational waves with more than 3 solar masses of energy.
