The last decade has brought a new way to explore the universe. Gravitational wave astronomy, made possible by observatories ...

In spite of having the odds against them, scientists have already used LIGO to detect the collisions of two different pairs of black holes billions of light-years from Earth. In doing so ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, is one of the most powerful ... is expanding and the true ...

We can also detect black holes by detecting the ripples in space-time created ... Then, in 2015, two special detectors known as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) picked up ...

The laser instruments operated by the international LIGO-VIRGO Collaboration have caught the gravitational waves emanating from the cataclysmic union of two black holes. One was 66 times the mass ...

These tiny ripples in space and time are generated when black holes or neutron stars collide. In September 2015, the LIGO observatories detected gravitational waves for the very first time on Earth.

Extreme cosmic events such as colliding black holes or the explosions of stars can cause ripples ... in collaboration with ...

An international team of researchers has made a third detection of gravitational waves ... new insights into the mysterious nature of black holes and, potentially, dark matter.

Black holes are astrophysical objects so dense ... advent of gravitational wave astronomy, where global detection efforts led by the LIGO (Laser Interferometry Gravitational-Wave Observatory ...

We all know that black holes can devour stars ... observatories such as LIGO and Virgo, but a space-based gravitational observatory such as LISA could detect them. The authors run the numbers ...
