Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they ...

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

Two colossal black holes—among the most massive ever seen—collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

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

The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...
