Gravitational waves have been uncovered from a massive black hole merger that shows the resultant black hole settling into a spherical shape for the first time, helping test Einstein’s theory of ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an ...

Scientists announced Thursday that, after decades of effort, they have succeeded in detecting gravitational waves from the violent merging of two black holes in deep space. The detection was ...

The scientists identified the merging black holes by detecting the gravitational waves–ripples in the fabric of space-time–produced in the final moments of the merger. The gravitational waves ...

The paper says that the gravitational waves that merging black holes release right after the merger is the key to seeing into the black holes. The new mass of the two black holes vibrates with an ...

Scientists say they've found evidence of a very long gravitational wave that could open a window onto supermassive black holes — and perhaps even other extreme, unseen objects in the universe.

But the supermassive black holes are just one candidate for a source of the massive gravitational hum. "We found the choir, but we don't know who's singing in it — the pop stars are the ...

The merger of black holes is intrinsically linked to the emission of gravitational waves. Once black holes are close enough together to form a binary as they whirl around one another, this ...
