The future of at least one of the U.S. LIGO observatories is in jeopardy as deep cuts to science programs are proposed by the ...

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.

The Trump administration has called for shutting down either a Tri-Cities, WA, or Louisiana observatory that work in tandem.

Using ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein, a team of researchers has detected a cosmic merger of unprecedented ...

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