SUNSET: 
Low-key supernova marks possible birth of neutron star duo
A massive star lost most of its mass before exploding and creating a neutron star — and a second nearby neutron star might have been the thief.
Seen at Last: A Superfast Jet Streams Away from Neutron-star Smashup
A new finding suggests that LIGO’s neutron-star merger was a typical gamma-ray burst after all.
Gravitational Waves Shed Light on Neutron Star Interiors
The gravitational-wave detection last year of a neutron star merger has revealed details on neutron star structure, ruling out exotic quark matter in the objects’ cores.
Neutron-star Smashup Might Have Choked Its Own Jet
LIGO’s neutron-star smashup might not have been a typical short gamma-ray burst. If true, the detection points toward a new class of gamma-ray bursts — but the jury is still out.
Astronomers Catch Gravitational Waves from Colliding Neutron Stars
Spacetime ripples from the neutron star smash-up usher in the age of multi-messenger astronomy.
2017 Nobel Goes to Gravitational Waves
Three American physicists have received the Nobel Prize in physics for their contributions to the discovery of gravitational waves.
Fourth Gravitational Wave Event Detected
Teaming up with LIGO, Europe’s Virgo detector has bagged its first gravitational waves. The three-observatory detection enabled scientists to better pinpoint the merging black holes’ location.

Goodbye, LISA Pathfinder
The European Space Agency switched off its groundbreaking LISA Pathfinder mission this week.

LIGO Detects Third Black Hole Merger
Scientists with the gravitational-wave observatory announce another discovery, this time of a black hole merger twice as far away as previous detections.
LIGO Detects Second Black Hole Collision
The gravitational wave observatory has detected a second event, heralding a new era in astrophysics. The day after Christmas last year, the cosmos quietly gifted scientists with gravitational waves — ripples in the fabric of spacetime – produced in a collision between two stellar-mass black holes. It’s the second event…
LISA Pathfinder Surpasses Expectations
First science results from ESA's LISA Pathfinder mission exceed expectations, with five times the sensitivity. This result paves the way for a future full-scale gravitational wave observatory in space.
Did Fermi Detect LIGO’s Merging Black Holes?
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope might have detected a burst from the same merging black holes that emitted the gravitational waves LIGO detected.
Gravitational Wave Detection Heralds New Era
LIGO scientists have announced the direct detection of gravitational waves, a discovery that won't just open a new window on the cosmos — it'll smash the door wide open.
About The LIGO Gravitational-Wave Rumor. . .
Gossip is racing around the physics and astronomy community: has LIGO finally heard its first black-hole merger? Here’s the reality.
