A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

The second reason is simple: location, location, location! The millisecond pulsar appears to be near Sagittarius A*, the ...

LIGO's GW250114 signal tests Einstein's relativity, revealing black hole properties and confirming key theorems in ...

Ripples in space-time from a pair of merging black holes have been recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists to test predictions of general relativity ...

Two researchers have found an explanation for why we find almost no exoplanets orbiting binary stars. According to them, ...

The idea of relative motion is an aspect of the theory of relativity (strictly, it’s Galilean relativity, rather than ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.
