Neutron star collision forming black hole - HD stock video

Animation showing the collision of two neutron stars, forming a black hole. The collision of the two massive, dense bodies forms a supernova-like explosion and produces strong gravitational waves. After the explosion, an accretion disc of material is seen around the black hole. Jets of electromagnetic radiation are seen emanating from the black hole's magnetic poles, as an accretion disc has formed around it. If the combined bodies have a mass below the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit, a neutron star or pulsar is produced instead of a black hole
