The Theory of Relativity predicted the existence of black holes and neutron stars. Einstein gets the credit for the theory…
Because gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, they can be lensed just as light waves are. But observing…
It's kind of hard to see inside a star as it's blowing up, because of the whole "blowing up" part,…
A prestigious pair of astronomers have published a paper recommending that a gravitational wave observatory be built on the far…
Scientists with the ESO have detected a triple system with a black hole roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth - making…
In another first, the latest gravitational wave event to be detected came from the merger of two black holes of…
How big is a neutron star? These extreme, ultra-dense collapsed stars are fairly small, as far as stellar objects are…
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity predicted that black holes would form and eventually collide. It also predicted the creation of…
Gravitational waves are caused by calamitous events in the Universe. Neutron stars that finally merge after circling each other for…
LIGO is so sensitive it can hear the quantum fluctuations of a vacuum. But by squeezing light it can make…
