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

A group of Manitoba researchers were involved behind the scenes of an international effort that this week revealed the first ...

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

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

Astrophysicists have analyzed two merging black holes; the team's best models suggest that at least one, if not both, of the ...

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

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

And LIGO’s second gravitational wave event, GW151226, is great for both! Essentially, on the pessimist’s side, GW151226 makes it all-but-certain that LIGO is picking up genuine gravitational ...

There are two LIGO detectors. One is in Louisiana (only 30 minutes from where I live) and the other is in Washington. Other gravitational wave detectors exist on Earth, but they were not ...

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

What occurs when the universe plays a cosmic curveball, breaking down long-standing assumptions about how black holes form?

May 24 marked the start of O4, the latest gravitational-wave hunting effort of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. But only LIGO is fully operational right now.
