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

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" ...

The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black ...

What would it sound like falling into a black hole? Or, more importantly, what would it feel like? Metacosmos by Anna Þorvaldsdóttir aims to answer these questions, using black holes as a metaphor for ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely ...

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...

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 ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 ...

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...
