1.3 billion years ago, two orbiting massive black holes, circling each other at 250 times a second, collided in a violent, ...
Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave background.
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 ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...
One of the most spectacular achievements in physics so far this century has been the observation of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time that result from masses accelerating in space. So far, ...
Detecting gravity waves isn’t easy. But what if you had a really big detector for a long time? That’s what researchers did when they crunched 15 years’ worth of data from the NANOGrav data set. The ...
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 ...
Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology anticipate ushering in the era of gravitational wave astronomy within the decade as part of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or ...
Decades ago physicists realized that gravitational waves are no mere passing phenomenon. Instead those ripples in space should leave behind permanent marks: a fixed distortion in their wake. So far ...
