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

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

The Trump administration has proposed closing either the LIGO Hanford observatory in WA or its twin in Louisiana.

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

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.

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

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

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

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