I am probably missing something, but it seems to me that the only way gravitational waves could be generated would be if the center of gravity of a massive body or system began oscillating somehow. The detection of such waves was recently reported and were supposedly generated by a pair of black holes orbiting each other. I do not understand how this system could generate gravitational waves when the center of gravity of the system is not moving/oscillating. Help? Thanks.
