Vera C. Rubin Observatory will detect an astonishing number of transients — including kilonovae from colliding neutron stars.

The upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time will detect an astonishing number of transients — including kilonovae from colliding neutron stars.

First, gravitational waves proved Einstein correct. Now, they’ve confirmed Stephen Hawking was right about black holes.

Ten years ago, we heard the universe for the first time. Now, we’ve heard it again... only louder. The gravitational wave event GW250114, observed by the LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA collaborations, is…

Gravitational waves from record‑breaking black holes challenge current astrophysical models The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has observed the heaviest black‑hole merger ever detected,…

Ripples in space-time from collision recorded by gravitational wave detector forces a rethink of how the objects form Scientists have detected ripples in space-time from the violent collision of two massive black holes that spiralled into one another far beyond the distant edge of the Milky Way. The black holes, each more than 100 times the mass of the sun, began circling each other long ago and finally slammed together to form an even more massive black hole about 10bn light years from Earth.

For the first time, astronomers have measured the plasma layers of a shock wave surrounding a pulsar.

Plan to cut most standalone positions in favour of shorter fellowships will hurt international recruitment, critics say
