Original Note:
This video is a simulation produced by the SXS (Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes) project, not actual footage. While the tweet refers to a real gravitational wave detection (GW150914), it uses a visualisation to imply direct observation. The distinction matters. https://www.black-holes.org/2016/02/11/gw150914
