Astronomers may be getting closer to discovering as-yet hidden cosmic secrets, such as the nature of dark matter and the presence of widespread distortions in space-time, researchers reported at the ...

Just a few months ago, scientists reported the detection of very low-frequency gravitational waves. Now a pair of German astrophysicists has investigated two intriguing possible sources – the universe ...

Nearly 20 years ago, the Cassini probe and its Huygens lander peeked under the hazy atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon Titan and gave us our first glimpse of the moon's familiarly strange surface.

Theoretical physicists have leapt upon the recent discovery of a background hum of gravitational waves permeating the entire universe, with claims that the signal could be a sign of dark matter or ...

Observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes may unveil the true nature of dark matter, according to new research. The announcement last week of the discovery of the gravitational wave ...

THE IDEA: Vanderbilt astrophysicist Karan Jani has led a series of studies that make the first case for a gravitational wave infrastructure on the surface of the moon. The experiment, dubbed ...

A 15-year search reveals the first evidence of a cosmic 'gravitational wave background' emitted by ancient, colliding black holes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

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 ...
