A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever recorded, according to new research. Gravitational waves were predicted by ...

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

Black hole merger sets unmatched mass record in gravitational wave histor GW231123 was detected by LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA on November 23, 2023 One black hole spun near the physical limit allowed by ge ...

Astronomers have made an extraordinary discovery, detecting the most massive black hole merger ever recorded. This unprecedented event, named GW 231123 after the date it was detected on November 23, ...

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration has announced a groundbreaking discovery in the field of gravitational wave ...

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

What occurs when two black holes, each greater than a hundred Suns, smash into each other in the shadows past our galaxy? In ...

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

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 ...

Astronomers have detected the most massive black hole merger ever observed, challenging stellar evolution and black hole formation theories.
