Black holes are some of the most fascinating objects known to science. Originally predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, there is now compelling observational evidence for their existence as real objects and not just theoretical constructs. Indeed they are linked to some of the most dramatic astrophysical phenomena including super-novae and active galactic nuclei. Physical processes involving black holes (such as binary inspirals and gravitational collapse) are widely expected to be some of the brightest sources of gravitational waves and based on these expectations, gravitational wave observatories have been built all over the world.

黑洞是科学界已知的最迷人的天体之一。 最初是由爱因斯坦的广义相对论预测的，现在有令人信服的观测证据证明它们作为真实物体而不仅仅是理论构造的存在。事实上，它们与一些最引人注目的天体物理现象有关，包括超新星和活跃的星系核。 人们普遍认为，涉及黑洞的物理过程（例如双星螺旋和引力坍缩）是最明亮的引力波源之一，基于这些期望，世界各地都建立了引力波观测站。
