On May 24, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) began an 18-month campaign to detect the most distant collisions between black holes and neutron stars ever ...
It has been three years since the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) shut down, starting a long hiatus from searching the universe for gravitational waves. Now, though, the ...
The best place to observe the stars is among them, which is why Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope have been deployed outside Earth's murky atmosphere. At least, that's the case when you're ...
Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology anticipate ushering in the era of gravitational wave astronomy within the decade as part of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or ...

In February, LIGO announced the world’s first detection of gravitational waves had been made on Sept. 14, just days before the detectors were scheduled to begin a four-month observing period looking ...
The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded Tuesday morning to three pioneers of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, which announced last year the world's first direct detection ...
