Here we show propagation of gravity waves as a color plot in a plane containing the axis of rotation of the binary system. The quadrupole mode of the gravitational waves dominates in this calculation. The first movie shows the early time evolution of gravity waves, and the second movie shows the late time evolution. The final 214 cycles of late inspiral wave emission shown above were used to generate these waveforms.
