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

Though our solar system and the movement of its planets appear relatively sedate, there are many things that could upset the balance. Anything with enough mass that got close enough could disrupt ...

The product Is hundreds of times heavier than the Sun, sixty percent greater than the previous record-holder, and challenges ...

Gravitational wave detectors have "heard" the ripples in space caused by the most massive black hole merger yet. One ...

Black holes are among the most enigmatic and fascinating objects in the universe. Their sheer existence challenges our understanding of the cosmos and raises deep questions about the nature of reality ...

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 ...

The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.

A puzzling gravitational wave was detected, and astronomers have determined that it comes from a record-breaking black hole ...

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.

Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the LIGO ...
