Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...

Two colossal black holes—among the most massive ever seen—collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

The only place that's likely to happen is at the very center of our galaxy. And, for a while, there was an excess of ...

The biggest black hole merger yet observed could confirm a rare class of black holes long thought to be missing from the universe.

A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...
