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…
Astronomers have found evidence of faint gravitational waves using an array of pulsars in our galaxy.
The successful detection of gravitational waves has been a game-changer for astronomy. And now the new frontier is in space,…
Underneath all the gravitational waves we see are faint primordial waves. If we can detect them, it could change our…
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…
