The Trump administration has proposed closing either the LIGO Hanford observatory in WA or its twin in Louisiana.

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

Two colossal black holes—among the most massive ever seen—collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected ...

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...

A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...

The biggest black hole merger yet observed could confirm a rare class of black holes long thought to be missing from the universe.

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the LIGO observatories. The powerful merger produced a ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...
