Pairs of black holes have been detected in the past through their gravitational effects, but until now, scientists have never ...

But most of the gold on Earth isn’t in our hands; it’s deep underground. During the planet’s formation, heavy elements like ...

WASHINGTON - Scientists are observing the most energetic flare ever seen emanating from a supermassive black hole, apparently ...

This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers captured a spectacular new image of the Milky Way across a wide range of radio ...

Physicists have analyzed two enormous black hole mergers that happened one month apart and have come up with tantalizing ...

Astronomers have detected two extraordinary gravitational wave events that may have come from black holes formed in earlier ...

For the first time, scientists have detected two black hole mergers with spins so unusual they may reveal a new generation of ...

Two newly detected black hole mergers by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA reveal rare spins and opposing orbits, reshaping theories of cosmic ...

For the first time, scientists have heard the haunting ‘cry’ of two newborn black holes — a sound born from one of the ...

Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window ...

Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object with mass pulls on every other object—a result that explained falling ...

The findings confirm the presence of rare binary systems and suggest certain black holes are second-generation, forged in earlier cosmic collisions.
