Never-Before-Seen Event: 'Kilonova'

The Verge: "For the first time, astronomers detect gravitational waves from two neutron stars colliding." Wow! Incredible news and this comes a mere two years after gravitational waves were first detected confirming a prediction by Einstein. In addition:

In the wake of the collision, the churning residue forged gold, silver, platinum and a smattering of other heavy elements such as uranium.

What a time to be involved in science, or, like me, a dedicated aficionado. Fantasy: to have witnessed this mind-blowing neutron 'duel' from a protective distance, maybe aboard the TARDIS. A cosmic spectacle for which the words stellar and awesome were invented.
