Results
LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA observed 'second generation' black holes for the first time
October 29, 2025
LVK announced the detection of two gravitational-wave signals — designated GW241011 and GW241110 — that indicate the merger of binary black holes exhibiting unusual mass ratios and spin orientations.
