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

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...

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

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

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

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

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

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

A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) directly detected gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time, for the first time ever—almost exactly one century after ...

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