Astronomers have been aware of cosmic vampires, dead stars that hungrily strip plasma from victim stars, for some time. New ...

Once again, gravitational waves have been observed whose origin should not actually exist: a collision of black holes with "forbidden" mass.

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, ...

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

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 ...

Astronomers have recorded gravitational waves from the largest ever black hole collision detected. Two behemoths merged in a cataclysmic event 10 billion light years from Earth. The cosmic giants, ...

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 ...

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