We see a lot of phenomenon happening around us But the phenomenon and results of that we are talking is Great and fascinating to all humans .

A Brief discussion
In Space-time means all space around us a lot of heavenly bodies are moving some are revolving around stars like sun as the planets do. Some of them are comets which we see after regular intervals as halley's comet etc.
Also there exists some binary stars which revolve around each other continuously as shown below

Extraordinary observation
Scientist observed a binary star(means two stars) that are identical both stars having same mass and speed. and revovlving around.
After some years we found that the orbits of star keep on decrasing and both the stars got closer to each other
and finally they shrinked to a single area.
Now the Question that arises is why the orbits of the stars got shrieked in-spite there was no force also the stars.
Idea | By Einstein
Miraculous idea given By Einstein
IN Twentieth Century J.C. Maxwell proposed 4 equations known as Maxwell's equations As Per Maxwell's eqn. Accelerating Charges Produce Electromagnetic Fields.
Einstein in his general theory of Relativity stated tha When Masses Accelerate in Space-time Then They give rise to Gravitational waves. Einstein also calculated intensity of gravitational waves
Now we know that as accelerating charges produce electromagnetic fields similarly accelerating masses produces gravitational waves this is like if we assume space as a fabric and accelerate masses then there will be some disturbance in that fabric and that disturbance is Gravitational Waves. But actually in space we see that there is emptiness no fabric is there then why we give such explanation actually this is itself question we say that the behavior of space time is like a fabric Einstein even explained that gravity is also due to slope in that fabric.
Where where these waves generated
Actually when any mass accelerates then gravitational waves are generated but there intensity might be too low that we can even detect..? Say if a bird Flies a train accelerates Earth accelerates Then gravitational waves got radiated.
Detection Of Gravitational Waves
