Deja-Vu? or a ripple in space-time caused by merging black holes?

The folks at LIGO have done it again: For the third time they have detected the whisper-faint roar as a pair of black holes ended their long courtship by merging into a single, bigger black hole. By doing so, they have shown that gravitational wave astronomy is more than a novelty; it?s a fundamentally new field of astrophysics.
In this new case, two black holes three billion light-years away (!!) coalesced, their individual masses of 31.2 and 19.4 times the Sun?s mass combining to form a single black hole 48.7 times the mass of the Sun.
