Strong signal from gravitational wave detectors hints at long-sought exotic source more

Researchers are using the Catalina Sky Survey's near-Earth object telescopes to locate the optical counterparts to gravitational waves triggered by massive mergers. more

In a first, astronomers may just have detected gravitational waves from a black hole merging with a neutron star. more

If parts of the neutron star interior start to move outwards, the star spins faster. This is called a “glitch,”... more
