Notice that all sources identified the LIGO-Virgo area. A new source of light (located at the intersection of the tic marks) was identified inside the overlapping area by the Swope telescope (top image inset). The image below the inset is of the same area but 20.5 days before this event showing that this source was not present. [Credit: LIGO, Virgo, Fermi, Swope, DLT40]
