LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA observed “second generation” black holes for the first time
A pair of very special black hole mergers, detected just one month apart in late 2024, is improving how scientists understand the nature and evolution of the most violent deep-space collisions in...
Ten years of gravitational waves
On September 14th 2015, ten years ago, a signal arrived on Earth that was generated by a pair of black holes. After spiralling around each other at impressive speeds, they had merged, releasing an...
