Latest about gravitational waves
Astronomers hope to use pulsars scattered around the galaxy as a giant gravitational wave detector. But why do we need them, and how do they work?
GOTO telescope will be the first to hunt for colliding black holes and neutron stars in a bid to find sources of gravitational waves.
Following two years of upgrades, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is almost ready for its next operating run, which is set to begin in March 2023.
Astronomers have spotted the first evidence of a merger event that gave a black hole a kick that left it traveling at around 3 million mph — fast enough for it to escape its host galaxy.
In a new analysis of their gravitational wave data, scientists with the international LIGO-Virgo Collaboration have discovered 10 new examples of merging binary black holes.
Telescopes that observe the universe in the most energetic form of light may help scientists detect the "fingerprints" of gravitational waves, new research reveals.
Scientists are uncovering how mysterious medium-sized black holes may arise from collisions of massive stars.
Around the world, astrophysicists are poring over the blips of gravitational waves that ripple through Earth when distant black holes or neutron stars collide. Most don't also attend high school.
