A gravitational-wave telescope on the Moon could span the gap between Earth-based and space-based observations.
When black holes collide with neutron stars, all sorts of interesting things happen. And astronomers have recently seen two of…
Can waves of gravity be lensed by gravity? A recent study looks for lensed gravitational waves.
Data from the Gaia satellite is so precise, it might be able to detect cosmic gravitational waves.
A new study proposes an exotic boson star to explain the largest gravitational wave merger we've observed.
Gravitational wave detectors are limited by fundamental quantum noise - an incessant "hum" that they cannot ever remove. But now…
Few events in the astronomy community were received with more fanfare than the first detection of gravitational waves, which took…
