Gravitational waves rippling from black hole merger could help test general relativity

Gravitational waves have been uncovered from a massive black hole merger that shows the resultant black hole settling into a spherical shape for the first time, helping test Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

Astronomers finally caught radio waves from 40 large galaxies in the nearby universe

Supermassive black holes reside in some of the biggest galaxies in the universe. They tend to be billions of times more massive that our Sun, and not even light itself can escape a black hole once it gets too close.

What are radio galaxies?

A radio galaxy is a type of galaxy with giant regions of radio emissions that reach far beyond its visible structure. We explore them in more detail here.

Universe may have resulted out of a ‘Big Bounce’, says Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli

Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist who has written several popular-science books. In his latest work, White Holes: Inside the Horizon, Rovelli explains the theoretical existence of white holes – the converse of black holes. The latter is believed to be the ultimate graveyard of all matter from which…
