They can emit gravitational waves
Black holes don’t always exist in isolation; sometimes they occur in pairs, orbiting around each other. When they do, the gravitational interaction between them creates ripples in space-time, which propagate outwards as gravitational waves. With observatories like the Laser Interferometer GravitationalWave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo, we now have the ability to detect these waves. The first discovery, involving the merger of two black holes, was announced back in 2016, and many more have been made since then. As detector sensitivity improves, other wave-generating events besides black hole mergers are being discovered, such as a crash between a black hole and a neutron star, which took place way beyond our own galaxy at a distance of 650 million to 1.5 billion light years from Earth.
