The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...

The merger wasn’t just the biggest ever, but also an event so rare that it challenges existing models for black hole genesis.

The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected ...

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...
