When two enormous black holes collide in deep space, they send shockwaves rippling across the universe. These shockwaves, ...

Gravitational waves are extraordinarily faint ripples in the fabric of space-time, caused by cataclysmic events such as star collisions. Albert Einstein predicted them in 1916 as part of his ...

Welcome to a new era in astrophysics. A huge international team of scientists have just announced the discovery of yet another gravitational wave signal sent out by the violent collision of two ...

“Photons traveling through space may experience permanent distortions and deflection caused by the gravitational wave memory from one such merger event,” the team said in the paper.

Let’s slow down for a moment. Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time, first predicted by Einstein over a century ago and only observed for the first time in 2015 by part of what is now ...

In this ebook researchers explore and questions question the origin and existence of gravitational waves and black holes ...

This effect refers to a permanent shift in the fabric of the universe caused by the passage of space-time ripples known as gravitational waves. Although these waves have already been detected by ...

ESA's Euclid mission is exploring the "dark universe." The space telescope's latest images offer fascinating new insights.

The first direct detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time caused by the movements of massive cosmic objects, a decade ago 1 marked the start of a new era in astronomy. Gravitational ...

Unlike ordinary waves that pass through matter and leave it unchanged, gravitational waves can permanently alter the structure of space-time itself. This means that any objects they pass through ...
