The future of at least one of the U.S. LIGO observatories is in jeopardy as deep cuts to science programs are proposed by the ...

What occurs when the universe plays a cosmic curveball, breaking down long-standing assumptions about how black holes form?

This is the most massive black hole binary we’ve observed through gravitational waves, and it presents a real challenge to ...

Scientists have detected gravitational waves from a black hole collision, revealing one with an unexpected mass that challenges existing theories about star death.

A gravitational wave has revealed the biggest black-hole merger ever recorded—so massive and extreme, it defies current astrophysical models. The clash formed a 225-solar-mass monster, possibly made ...

The Trump administration has called for shutting down either a Tri-Cities, WA, or Louisiana observatory that work in tandem.

The merger wasn’t just the biggest ever, but also an event so rare that it challenges existing models for black hole genesis.

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever recorded, according to new research. Gravitational waves were predicted by ...

Black hole merger sets unmatched mass record in gravitational wave histor GW231123 was detected by LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA on ...

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration has announced a groundbreaking discovery in the field of gravitational wave ...

The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

A short-lived ripple in space-time revealed that two black holes merged into a giant black hole with the mass of 225 suns ...
