Astronomers analyzing the gravitational-wave signal from a 2020 collision between a black hole and a neutron star report ...

GW200105 reveals an eccentric orbit before merger, challenging formation models.

These provide statistical insights into the collisions between the incredibly compact objects that cause them, whether neutron stars or black holes. The new detections have also allowed us to find ...

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an ...

Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an oval-shaped orbit just before merging. This unusual motion, detected in the ...

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of physics.

Humans are traveling farther into space than ever before. We look at the physics of launch – how to send something up and how it can come crashing back down. Now is an exciting time for space ...
