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

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

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

Two colossal black holes—among the most massive ever seen—collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

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

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

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

It took less than a second for the space observatory hidden in Louisiana woods to detect a black hole that is that is ...

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

The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.

The most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves have been detected by the LIGO Hanford and Livingston ...
