A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning ‘forbidden’ black holes that challenge physics ...

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" ...

The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

“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.

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

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 ...
