New gravitational wave findings from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration report the discovery of the largest black hole merger ...

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

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

Using ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein, a team of researchers has detected a cosmic merger of unprecedented ...

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 LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through Earth from the most massive collision of black holes ever observed, a ...

Scientists have detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves, using the US ...

The Trump administration has proposed closing either the LIGO Hanford observatory in WA or its twin in Louisiana.

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