Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015.

Countdown to a new star - Hidden in the neck of this “hourglass” of light are the very beginnings of a new star — a protostar. The clouds of dust and gas within this region are only visible in ...

After watching that, I joked with a friend that the gravity we feel every day is actually a result of space-time being ...

In a landmark achievement, astronomers have noticed light bending in an unexpected manner, one that doesn’t align with the predictions made by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This ...

In June, scientists presented compelling evidence that they discovered a massive "hum" of low-frequency gravitational waves rippling through the universe. Similar to the ripple effect that occurs when ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made an epic discovery with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Cosmology ...

Scientists discovered low-frequency gravitational waves that bend and stretch space-time and distort all four dimensions of our universe. Keep KCRW Independent. KCRW is here to provide you with local ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. (KTVZ) – Gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of time-space predicted by Albert Einstein more than a century ago, are permeating the universe at low frequencies, according to a ...

Sep 8, 2024 Sep 8, 2024 Updated Jul 25, 2025 0 On Sept. 14, 2015, the earth was rocked by a shock wave from a collision between two black holes. If you didn’t notice, don’t worry. The movement was ...

On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery was a watershed moment in physics and astrophysics, heralding an entirely ...
