When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off ripples, in the form of gravitational waves ...

In my January 23, 2026, “The Universe” column, I wrote about some of the biggest bangs the universe has to offer: exploding stars, hiccupping magnetars, stellar disruptions and colliding black holes.

When black holes collide, the crash generates ripples in the fabric of spacetime—gravitational waves. Thanks to a global network of observatories—called the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave ...

A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is ...

Would there be a supermassive explosion?

When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off gravitational waves that reverberate across space and time over ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

Looking ahead: Future Euclid observations will enable scientists to watch how galaxy collisions spark bursts of star formation, fuel shrouded black holes, and unleash energetic feedback. According to ...

A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass ...
