When black holes collide, they emit chirps of gravitational waves even after they have merged.
Astronomers can now test the limit of relativity and whether new physics lies beyond Einstein's model.
Over the past decade, the shadow of a black hole in M87 has been wobbling, which tells us about how…
A new tool called the Black Hole Collision Calculator let's users see just how powerful a collision between a black…
