The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

The detection of gravitational waves from this event has generated a lot of scientific interest. It has the potential to refine the current understanding of black hole formation, the evolution of stars,

Gravitational waves are unlocking the secrets of the universe, and scientists have just made a groundbreaking discovery. First predicted by Einstein, these ripples in spacetime hold the key to understanding black holes,

The LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through Earth from the most massive collision of black holes ever observed, a coalition of the world’s four gravitational wave observatories announced Tuesday.

L ast month, work began on the world’s first space-based gravitational wave detector. The European Space Agency and partner aerospace companies are developing orbiting, detector spacecraft to observe gravitational waves from some of the universe’s most massive objects.
