Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely ...
“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...
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.
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 ...
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 puzzling gravitational wave was detected, and astronomers have determined that it comes from a record-breaking black hole ...
The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.
The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the satellites we use for navigation, communication and Earth observation every ...
Researchers discovered a large black hole jet from the early universe, and it's reshaping what we know about the early universe.
For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.
