Latest about gravitational waves
Two mysterious cosmic phenomena appeared in the same patch of sky nearly at once, and it may not be a coincidence.
Reference Gravitational waves are tiny ripples in the fabric of time and space that are created by some of the universe's most powerful events such as colliding black holes.
The early universe may have been such a violent place that space-time itself fractured like a pane of glass, releasing gravitational waves that astronomers say we may have already detected.
A new model suggests how gravitational waves created by the collision between black holes spread and interact within the fabric of space-time.
The gravitational waves would be weak, but potentially detectable by the next joint observing run of the world's gravitational-wave detectors.
From black holes to the search for life, scientific breakthroughs are on the horizon as new observatories come online.
What lurks at the center of a black hole? Studying the space-time ripples from black hole collisions could reveal an answer.
Astrophysicists tested a potential approach to determining the state of the matter inside a neutron star, a tricky feat.
