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

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...

Once the clock is ready, it will be able to detect incredibly tiny changes in energy, which can reveal things like changes in ...

The binary black holes in the universe are already astonishing enough, but researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical ...

Less than a decade since the first detection of gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime itself—proposed budget cuts threaten ...

This early-alert system should allow more merger events to be followed up on with light-based astronomy. Gravitational waves reveal 1st-of-its-kind merger between neutron star and mystery object ...

The source of these gravitational waves is thought to be supermassive black holes at the cores of distant, merged galaxies. When astronomy first began, humans only had their eyes to study the heavens.

Join Prof. Sheila Rowan—Director of the Institute for Gravitational Research in the School of Physics and Astronomy in the University of Glasgow—as she presents a free public lecture as the U ...

This detection marked the beginning of the era of gravitational-wave astronomy, which uses gravity to examine the universe in the same way that conventional astronomy uses electromagnetic ...

The announcement Thursday that elusive gravitational waves have been detected for the first time heralds a new era in astronomy that could be as important as Galileo’s first use of the telescope.
