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

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

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

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

The LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through ...

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected ...

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

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 ...

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

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

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

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