If you remember the earlier stories about the detection of gravity waves, it involved two black holes spinning around each other as they collide. When people try to visualize spacetime, one metaphor is an elastic sheet with a weight causing it to sag.
HERE is a neat visualization of waves emanating from orbiting masses using the elestic sheet setup.
