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

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

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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

The Trump administration has called for shutting down either a Tri-Cities, WA, or Louisiana observatory that work in tandem.

Within three weeks, it spotted its first gravitational wave event. A new era. Entire books could be written about all the steps that LIGO takes to limit the noise that is a constant feature of its ...

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.
