TL;DR: The first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of the collision and merger of a pair of black holes were reported in this paper, which was observed on September 14, 2015 by the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), arguably the most sensitive scientific instruments ever constructed.
