LIGO catches a 225-solar-mass black-hole smash-up

Gravitational shockwave: LIGO catches a 225-solar-mass black-hole smash-up

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely forged by earlier smash-ups fused into a 225-solar-mass titan, GW231123. The record-setting blast strains both the sensitivity of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA and the boundaries of stellar-evolution theory,

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

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015, its twin detectors based in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, made the first ever detection of gravitational waves.
