Russia launches ‘massive’ drone bombardment on Zelensky’s hometown, Ukrainian officials say

Russia launches ‘massive’ drone bombardment on Zelensky’s hometown, Ukrainian officials say

CNN  —  Moscow barreled hundreds of drones toward four key regions in Ukraine overnight, just as lawmakers in Kyiv scrambled to approve additional defense spending against the backdrop of intensified Russian attacks over the past few days. The Kremlin unleashed 400 long-range drones and one missile late Tuesday, according to Ukraine’s Air Force – in what marked largest onslaught so …

Another massive wave of new Apple devices is coming. It needs to stop

Another massive wave of new Apple devices is coming. It needs to stop

This time of year can be a little dull if your job is writing about Apple (or, presumably, working for Apple). There’s WWDC at the start of June, which more likely than not won’t see the launch of any hardware products, and then the rest of summer tends to pass with only the most perfunctory of announcements from Cupertino’s PR …

Scientists detect most massive black hole merger ever — and it birthed a monster 225 times as massive as the sun

Scientists detect most massive black hole merger ever — and it birthed a monster 225 times as massive as the sun

Scientists have detected the biggest black hole merger ever known — a gigantic collision from two massive space-time ruptures spiraling into each other — and it could hold evidence of the most elusive type of black hole in the universe. The merger, which happened on the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy, produced a black hole roughly 225 times more …

Merger of two massive black holes is one for the record books

Merger of two massive black holes is one for the record books

Physicists with the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaboration have detected the gravitational wave signal (dubbed GW231123) of the most massive merger between two black holes yet observed, resulting in a new black hole that is 225 times more massive than our Sun. The results were presented at the Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves in Glasgow, Scotland. The LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaboration searches the universe …

LIGO Detects Most Massive Black Hole Merger to Date

LIGO Detects Most Massive Black Hole Merger to Date

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the US National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded LIGO observatories. The powerful merger produced a final black hole approximately 225 times the mass of our Sun. The signal, designated GW231123, was detected during the fourth observing run of the LVK network on …

Gravitational waves reveal most massive black hole merger ever detected — one ‘forbidden’ by current models

Gravitational waves reveal most massive black hole merger ever detected — one ‘forbidden’ by current models

Scientists have detected the most massive merger of black holes ever. This titanic collision, “heard” in ripples in spacetime called gravitational waves, involves black holes so massive that it could challenge current models of the universe. The merger was detected by the gravitational wave detector network LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) on Nov. 23, 2023, during the fourth observing run of these three …

Astronomers Detect a Black Hole Merger That’s So Massive It Shouldn’t Exist

Astronomers Detect a Black Hole Merger That’s So Massive It Shouldn’t Exist

Gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by violent cosmic events—travel at the speed of light in every direction, eventually fading out like ripples in water. But some events are so destructive and extreme that they create disturbances in spacetime more like powerful waves than small ripples, with enough energy to reach our own detectors here on Earth.  Today, the LIGO Collaboration …
