Gravity is normal on Earth, but out there it plays a deeper role. If a cosmic body is massive enough, it could bend the ...

The nodes in a quantum network don’t necessarily have to be computers; they can also be atomic clocks. The cesium atoms that ...

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration has announced a groundbreaking discovery in the field of gravitational wave astronomy. The international research team has detected the most massive merger ...

For reference, Pluto’s average distance from the Sun is about 40 AU, so 2023 KQ14 is quite distant. At 23.4 billion miles (37 ...

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 ...

Earth has experienced both hot and cold periods over time, though warm times have been more common. That’s true of the last 485 million years, as seen in this timeline reported in 2024. Our genus, ...

On November 23, 2023, a groundbreaking astronomical event unfolded as scientists from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration detected the most massive black hole merger ever observed. The finding was ...

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

In 1919, a total solar eclipse allowed scientists to confirm Einstein’s theory of general relativity by observing how the sun’s gravity bent starlight. This discovery revolutionized physics and made ...
