Seven years ago, researchers with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) reported the first detection of gravitational waves. Now, the list of gravitational wave candidates ...
On May 24, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) began an 18-month campaign to detect the most distant collisions between black holes and neutron stars ever ...

The best place to observe the stars is among them, which is why Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope have been deployed outside Earth's murky atmosphere. At least, that's the case when you're ...
After a whirlwind tour of press conferences, parties and awards following their Feb. 11 announcement of the world’s first direct detection of gravitational waves, the team of scientists at the Laser ...
After a prolonged absence from the gravitational-wave-detection scene, the massive LIGO project is back up and running. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) works in ...
For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...
On April 25, 2019, the LIGO Livingston Observatory picked up what appeared to be gravitational ripples from a collision of two neutron stars. LIGO Livingston is part of a gravitational-wave network ...
Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology anticipate ushering in the era of gravitational wave astronomy within the decade as part of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or ...
