Radio signal discovered at the center of our galaxy could put Einstein's relativity to the test
Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...
LIGO's GW250114 signal tests Einstein's relativity, revealing black hole properties and confirming key theorems in ...
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 ...
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 ...

Scientists finally have explanation for the missing planets of tight binary stars
Astronomers have long faced a strange contradiction: most stars are born in pairs, and ...
New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems ...
A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...
One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.
Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.
