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

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

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...

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.

Named GW 231123 after the date it was recorded on 23 November 2023, it's the most massive black hole collision we've seen yet, resulting in an object heavier than 225 Suns. Previously, the most ...

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

A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...

One of the black holes was about 103 times the mass of the sun. The other was about 137 times it. These large black holes may have been formed by even earlier mergers, Professor Mark Hannam, from ...

Astronomers have revealed the largest black hole merger to date. This illustration shows how the merger would appear to our ...

It took less than a second for the space observatory hidden in Louisiana woods to detect a black hole that is that is ...

Astroboffins spotted the aftereffects of the event on November 23, 2023, when they detected emissions from two huge black holes, each around 100 and 140 times the mass of the Sun, that collided and ...
