Two merging black holes, each roughly 30 times the mass of the sun, in a computer simulation. Gravitational wave observatories, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), ...
On January 14, 2025, a pair of black holes with nearly identical masses crashed together roughly 1.2 billion light-years away, producing a gravitational wave signal so clean and powerful that it ...
After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves — tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...

Humanity's first space-based gravitational wave detector has received the go-ahead. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, which consists of three spacecraft that together form a ...
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration recently began a new observing run that promises to take gravitational-wave astronomy to the next level. According to scientists from across the ...
Detecting gravity waves isn’t easy. But what if you had a really big detector for a long time? That’s what researchers did when they crunched 15 years’ worth of data from the NANOGrav data set. The ...
EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...
