The image shows a view of a huge cluster of galaxies with numerous luminous galaxies distributed in a dark universe. In the center of the image is a large elliptical galaxy surrounded by a faint golden glow. A highlighted section shows a magnified view of a gravitational lensing effect: a distant galaxy is distorted by the gravity of the galaxy cluster into an almost perfect Einstein ring.

Making sense of the unexpected in the gravitational-wave sky
The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics is one of the four partners in the international consortium GWSky, which the European Research Council has awarded 12 million euros to develop a deeper understanding of gravitational waves. more
How does strong space-time curvature affect the propagation of gravitational waves?
Scientists have studied what happens when two stellar-mass black holes merge near a more massive black hole. They have calculated how strong space-time curvature modifies the gravitational waveforms and how this might be detected in future observations. more
