The detection of the gravitational waves from this event, which actually occurred billions of years ago, was made by the LVK ...

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 ...

The most massive gravitationally detected black hole merger to date has been observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration.

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 mergers involved either two black holes or two neutron stars. In 2021, ...

A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far ...

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

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) achieved a historic milestone by making the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015. It originated from a black hole merger ...

In summer, we face toward the Milky Way's hub in the Teapot constellation, home to the galaxy's supermassive black hole.

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...
