The newly detected gravitational wave background could be the result of supermassive black hole binaries that orbit each other for a few million years before merging. By now you’ll have seen the news ...

In a historic first, astronomers have detected low-frequency gravitational waves using a galaxy-sized antenna of millisecond pulsars in the Milky Way. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

As an international collaboration of radio astronomers from Australia, Germany, the UK, South Africa, the Netherlands, Italy and France, the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array (MPTA) has created a ...

Researchers have found the first direct evidence of a “background” of gravitational waves in the universe — a sign that gravitational waves from slowly merging pairs of supermassive black holes, or ...

Researchers just announced the discovery of the gravitational wave background. After a 15-year-long study, the scientists have finally “heard” what they were looking for: the gravitational waves that ...

The gravitational wave background has probably been detected using a pulsar timing array. A few weeks ago a large team of gravitational wave astronomers announced something pretty wild - pervasive ...
