Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

After watching that, I joked with a friend that the gravity we feel every day is actually a result of space-time being ...

First, gravitational waves proved Einstein correct. Now, they’ve confirmed Stephen Hawking was right about black holes.

Passenger planes currently cannot do supersonic speeds, maxing out at Mach 0.8. However, one pioneer in the world of aviation ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...

At the edge of the heliosphere, the solar wind runs up against the interstellar medium, the gas, dust, and radiation in the space between the stars. This boundary remains a poorly understood frontier ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is predicted to account for most of ...

A massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami off Russia in late July tested an experimental detection system that had deployed ...

Future gravitational wave observations will allow us to test more exotic scientific theories, and maybe even probe the ...

LIGO observatory near Richland confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity, it also has proven one of Hawking’s theorems.

Some places on Earth seem to completely defy the laws of physics! Take the Devil’s Kettle waterfall in Minnesota, where half the river mysteriously disappears into a hole, and no one knows where it ...

Gravitational waves can be described as ripples in the fabric of space-time, generated by the acceleration of massive objects. These waves travel at the speed of light and are often produced during ...
