A dark siren is a gravitational wave event which is being used by astronomers to establish the Hubble constant. It is caused by the merger of two black holes or two neutron stars. The collision of two such objects creates distortions in space-time which propagate as waves through space. These events are fairly rare in the universe, and must be detected by multiple gravitational wave telescopes in order to be valuable for scientists.
