To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected ...

The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.

Gravitational waves spotted by LIGO reveal two black holes, 140 and 100 times the mass of the sun, merged to become a 225 solar mass behemoth.

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...
