Astronomers have been aware of cosmic vampires, dead stars that hungrily strip plasma from victim stars, for some time. New ...

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

The most massive gravitationally detected black hole merger to date has been observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration.

Scientists have witnessed evidence of a collision between black holes so huge that it defies their understanding of physics.

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected mergers involved either two black holes or two neutron stars. In 2021, ...

The event is the most massive black hole merger ever recorded by gravitational wave detectors and has forced physicists to ...

Scientists have observed the largest black hole merger ever detected, marking a historic breakthrough in astrophysics. The ...

Currently, the discoveries being made can change the world completely. In this sense, enough untapped oil has been found in Antarctica to fill no less than 510 billion barrels, som ...

The black holes – one roughly 140 times the mass of the Sun and the other about 100 solar masses – fused into one pit of ...

Gravitational waves from most massive black hole collision ever observed challenge existing theories, as scientists suspect ...

Merger creates black holes weighing 240 times the mass of our Sun — the heaviest binary black hole system confirmed through gravitational-wave observations.

This colossal collision, which occurred about 10 billion light-years from Earth, was detected in November 2023 by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors located in ...
