A newly formed black hole, GW190412, was captured fleeing at 180,000 km/h; scientists track its entire cosmic trajectory for the first time.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In May of 2019, a short-duration binary black hole (BBH) merger contained no evidence of the inspiral signal typical of these kinds of a ...

Despite it’s comparative size to our star, it’s still the least massive object ever detected using gravitational lensing.

Researchers analyzing pulsar data have found tantalizing hints of ultra-slow gravitational waves. A team from Hirosaki University suggests these signals might carry “beats” — patterns formed by ...
