In recent weeks the astrophysics community has been buzzing following the discovery that the universe appears to be filled with a background hum of gravitational waves. Using radio telescopes in the Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the US, several teams have noted the same thi ...  Show more

<span>Giant black holes were supposed to be bit players in the early cosmic story. But recent James Webb Space Telescope observations are finding an unexpected abundance of the beasts. Read more at QuantaMagazine.org. Music is “Light Gazing” by Andrew Langdon.</span>

It took hundreds of researchers and many telescopes to capture an image of the black hole at the middle of our Milky Way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices 

Dans le cadre de sa théorie de la relativité générale, Einstein avait prédit, dès 1916, l'existence des ondes gravitationnelles. Mais il a fallu attendre 2015 pour que ces oscillations de l'espace-temps soient détectées par des appareils spécifiques.

Qu'est-ce que le ...
