In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected the “sound” of a black hole being kicked through space, captured through the analysis of gravitational waves from the 2019 event GW190412. This ...

Data sonification from NASA missions provides a new method to enjoy an arrangement of cosmic objects. These data sonifications translate information collected by various NASA missions — such as the ...

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

The composition begins with a deep, almost futuristic-sounding tremor. It’s quickly joined by a piccolo’s lilting melody. A woman’s voice begins the narration: “The X-ray sky: each dot is not a star ...

A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision of two black holes. Now, thanks to improved technology and a bit of luck, a ...

Just Two Numbers Is All You Need Black holes sound wildly complicated. After all, there are all sorts of bizarre things going on: intense gravity, the warping of the fabric of space, the distortion of ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...
