Ten years ago this month, gravitational waves were first detected on planet Earth. Now, gravitational waves had been something that scientists had thought existed going back to Albert Einstein. His ...

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or “kick,” in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones. The ...

Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves. Back then, on Sept. 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m., it had been 100 years since Albert Einstein predicted gravitational ...

When LIGO detected gravitational waves unleashed from two colliding black holes for the first time in science history, it set ...

Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these mysterious objects. A new study details the “clearest ...
