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

The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

Scientists have detected the most massive black hole merger spotted so far. The event is at the limits of the capabilities of ...

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.

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely ...

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

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...

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

The biggest black hole merger yet observed could confirm a rare class of black holes long thought to be missing from the universe.

It was a bump in the night. A big one.On Nov. 23, 2023, waves from a colossal merger of two black holes reached Earth and ...

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the LIGO observatories. The powerful merger produced a ...
