A puzzling gravitational wave was detected, and astronomers have determined that it comes from a record-breaking black hole ...

Back in May, Hagerty contributor and AMC aficionado Joe Ligo penned the story, “Do ‘Cheap’ AMC Cars Still Exist? Kind Of…” In ...

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

At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive objects.

Learn more about LIGO, the observatory that detected two massive black holes merging, the largest in recorded history.

The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...

For now, the LIGO team cannot localize where these black holes merge. But as more detectors come online in Europe, Japan and India, researchers will be better able to triangulate the sources.

Meanwhile, the LIGO team analyzed the data, determining that the signal was legit. A comparison with the normal background noise of the detector suggests that a signal like this will only show up ...

LIGO detected gravitational waves created from the collision between two black holes. The detection was awesome, but let's look at the name of the detector for a second: Laser Interferometer ...

LIGO was operational and taking data over two different periods from 2015 through 2017, with runs of 4 and 9 months in duration, respecively. The latter included an overlap, during the summer of ...

When LIGO detected gravitational waves for the first time, we were delighted, but we weren't surprised. Theorists had calculated exactly the type of LIGO-sensitive signal that should result from ...
