In October 2024 the network detected a clear signal that pointed back to a merger that occurred 700 million light-years away. The progenitor black holes were 20 and 6 solar masses and the larger ...

Fr. Flaviano Antonio Villanueva, 2025 Ramon Magsaysay awardee, called for “radical compassion,” which is the core of his commitment to stand with the poor, the homeless, and the families of victims of ...

Researchers detect the clearest black hole signal to date, enabling tests of Hawking's area theorem and advancing ...

But most of the gold on Earth isn’t in our hands; it’s deep underground. During the planet’s formation, heavy elements like gold and platinum sank toward the molten iron core. Geologists estimate that ...

A Scottish artist has donated two new paintings to the University of Glasgow to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first detection of gravitational waves.

Twin black hole collisions detected in 2024 have provided the sharpest-ever test of Einstein’s theory while revealing new details about how black holes form and spin.

This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers captured a spectacular new image of the Milky Way across a wide range of radio ...

For the first time, scientists have detected two black hole mergers with spins so unusual they may reveal a new generation of ...

For the first time, scientists have heard the haunting ‘cry’ of two newborn black holes — a sound born from one of the ...

Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window ...

Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...

Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.
