Supermassive black hum: Scientists discover gravitational wave background that permeates universe

Salon  

On Earth, a visible ripple effect occurs when a stone is thrown into the water. Yesterday, scientists announced compelling evidence that they've discovered a massive "hum" of low-frequency gravitational waves rippling through the universe — and they think it's highly likely they're coming from the merging of two supermassive black holes, each of which can range in size from 100,000 …

Associated Press  

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronomers have discovered what appear to be massive galaxies dating back to within 600 million years of the Big Bang, suggesting the early universe may have had a stellar fast-track that produced these “monsters.” While the new James Webb Space Telescope has spotted even older galaxies, dating to within a mere 300 million years of the …
