Astronomers have identified a tightly bound pair of stars that are spiraling toward a catastrophic merger, turning a distant ...

The two stars in the nearby system ZTF J2130 are spiraling toward a catastrophic supernova. In the meantime, scientists are ...

The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...

The 'cocoons' of debris that surround dying stars appear to be able to create tiny ripples in space-time. So far, astronomers have only detected these ripples, known as gravitational waves, when they ...

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 ...

Gravity waves are oscillatory disturbances generated by the restoring force of buoyancy in a stably stratified atmosphere. They play a central role in transferring energy and momentum between ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- We have another question to answer, and this one has to deal with some very interesting clouds. Ray C. took a picture just outside of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where you can see ...

A new window into the nature of the universe may be possible with a device proposed by scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno, and Stanford University that would detect elusive gravity waves ...

Observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes may unveil the true nature of dark matter, according to new research. The announcement last week of the discovery of the gravitational wave ...
