New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

Researchers believe they have found the signal of a pulsar, the ancient core of a rapidly spinning star, at the center of the Milky Way, near a supermassive black hole. This discov ...

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

Researchers looking for signs of extraterrestrial life instead stumbled upon a pulsar at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

If the pulsar is confirmed, it could enable more precise measurements of the space-time around the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole ...

The second reason is simple: location, location, location! The millisecond pulsar appears to be near Sagittarius A*, the ...

Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of ...

Ripples in space-time from a pair of merging black holes have been recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists to test predictions of general relativity ...

The big thinkers at Aperture explain relativity and how it warps the fabric of spacetime.
