Black holes discovery to be revealed at gravitational waves conference in Glasgow
Published: 14 July 2025
The most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves have been discovered by scientists, with some of the analyses carried out by an international team that was led by an astrophysicist at the University of Glasgow. The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration said the detection of the merger of the two black holes was made using the US National Science Foundation-funded (NSF) LIGO Hanford and Livingston Observatories.
