Researchers are trying to figure out what kind of collision made a unique wave signal from 650 million light-years away

A neutron star merged with something unknown. Physicists think it might be a mini black hole.

Imagine LIGO, but flying through space. That’s LISA.

The BlackGEM array, a system of three new telescopes located at the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) La Silla Observatory, has begun operations to detect gravitational waves caused by cosmic events like black hole and neutron star mergers. Unlike detectors such as LIGO and the Virgo Interfer

LIGO made history in 2015 when it detected gravitational waves for the first time, and its fourth run, which began yesterday. The observatory is at its most sensitive now.

Munich, Germany (SPX) May 17, 2023 - The BlackGEM array, consisting of three new telescopes located at ESOs La Silla Observatory, has begun operations. The telescopes will scan the southern sky to hunt down the cosmic events that prod

Able to detect gravitational waves and visible light sources, ESO's BlackGEM telescopic array at La Silla Observatory in Chile is on the hunt for ripples in space-time. And unlike existing observatories, it can pinpoint where they're coming from.
