Astronomers have, for the first time, measured the recoil speed and direction of a newborn black hole using gravitational waves. Data from the 2019 event GW190412 revealed the remnant shot away at 50 km/s. This breakthrough shows gravitational waves can reconstruct full 3D motion, offering new ways to connect black hole mergers with light signals.

A new pre-print study proposes that Uranus and Neptune might not be “ice giants” after all. Using assumption-free models, scientists found their interiors could range from mostly icy to mostly rocky, suggesting we know far less about these distant worlds and that new missions are essential to solve the mystery.
