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.

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 ...

Though our solar system and the movement of its planets appear relatively sedate, there are many things that could upset the ...

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

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

Imagine waking up one morning to the news: a black hole is drifting close to our solar system. It sounds like the plot of a .

ENTs occur when stars that are at least three times as massive as the Sun pass so close to a supermassive black hole that its ...

We measure the extremely long distances between things in space by light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at about 300,000 kilometres per second.
