Ring of fire around black hole revealed for first time
... of the black hole still remained elusive. Even before that, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected gravitational waves emanating from the merger of two black holes. These ripples in the curvature of spacetime...

First-ever image of cool gas disk surrounding Milky Way's black hole
... but invisible objects that ‘hide’ in the centre of galaxies, black holes, are slowly being given up. First LIGO spotted signs of a collision between two of these behemoths, then just last month astronomers saw the unseeable...

Three massive black holes caught in the act of merging
... sources, the likes of which have yet to be captured by detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and a signal that is unlikely to come from SDSS J0849+1114 any time soon. Observations of the individual...

Black hole collision may have exploded with light
... May 2019 by two gravitational wave detectors - the US National Science Foundation's Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and the European Virgo detector - in an event called GW190521g. That detection allowed the ZTF scientists...

Lunar levitation track system among new ideas funded by NASA
... open a new window (low frequency radio) into the early universe, analogous to the detection of gravitational waves by LIGO and the details of the CMB by Planck,” says Polidan in his proposal. Among the other 15 ideas selected...
