A record-breaking black hole collision has stunned scientists with its sheer scale and speed. Detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observatories, the event merged two enormous black holes—each over 100 ...

The Trump administration has called for shutting down either a Tri-Cities, WA, or Louisiana observatory that work in tandem.

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

The LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through ...

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

The merger wasn’t just the biggest ever, but also an event so rare that it challenges existing models for black hole genesis.

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...
