Gravitational waves spotted by LIGO reveal two black holes, 140 and 100 times the mass of the sun, merged to become a 225 solar mass behemoth.

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

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, ...

A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far ...

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

Black holes are among the most enigmatic and fascinating objects in the universe. Their sheer existence challenges our understanding of the cosmos and raises deep questions about the nature of reality ...

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

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