Bright, flickering galaxies called quasars were thought to pose a problem for our understanding of the cosmos – but new research shows Einstein was right yet again.
Gravitational waves were first detected in 2015 using an experiment involving Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory (LIGO) detectors. But those waves were of high frequency, believed to be produced by the merger of two small black holes that took place about 1.3 billion years ago.

An international team of scientists have discovered evidence for a new type of signal they have long searched for—one that will give us a greater understanding into black holes, and the origins of galaxies and the universe as we know it.The team, coordinated by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav), announced Wednesday
Astronomers and astrophysicists have discovered evidence of Gravitational Wave Background signals, a long theorized type of energy emitted from supermassive black holes.
We turned the galaxy into our own little science experiment to prove Einstein right.
