Researchers finally found evidence from a region in Space where nothing is supposed to escape

A historic black hole discovery is changing how scientists explore the universe. Researchers have detected possible fingerprints of a black hole event horizon through gravitational waves, giving humanity a closer look at the mysterious edge where gravity dominates everything. The breakthrough from black hole merger data opens a new chapter…

The discovery of a gravitational wave 10 years ago shook astrophysics – these ripples in spacetime continue to reveal dark objects in the cosmos

Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015. This discovery marked the culmination of a 100-year quest to prove one of Einstein’s predictions.

Scientists think they detected the first known triple black hole system in the universe — and then watched it die

Chinese astronomers have spotted a hidden supermassive black hole in the background of a peculiar gravitational wave event from a black hole merger, hinting that all three singularities were locked in a never-before-seen triple system.

Very massive stars vomit vast amounts of matter before collapsing into black holes

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this transformation, they may vomit out more stellar material than we knew.

Quantum effects make distant objects move together: new research finds this may happen with ripples in space

Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it’s true that much of what happens millions of light years away is large, there are also processes happening at the quantum end of the scale. That’s the branch of science which explains…
