It took less than a second for the space observatory hidden in Louisiana woods to detect a black hole that is that is ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely ...

Gravitational waves spotted by LIGO reveal two black holes, 140 and 100 times the mass of the sun, merged to become a 225 solar mass behemoth.

New gravitational wave findings from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration report the discovery of the largest black hole merger ...

Scientists have witnessed evidence of a collision between black holes so huge that it defies their understanding of physics.

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected ...

Though our solar system and the movement of its planets appear relatively sedate, there are many things that could upset the ...

Black holes with masses below about 60 times that of the Sun – a size small – are created when a star dies. Yet ones between 60 to 130 solar masses have never been seen, with physicists believing that ...

A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far observed merging. The result is larger than theoretical models allow through ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...
