A neutron star and black hole were detected merging along an unusual oval orbit, challenging long-held theories about how these systems form.

In 1974, a brilliant 32-year-old physicist published a not-quite-two-page paper in the journal Nature — and blew up one of our fundamental assumptions about black holes. The author was Stephen Hawking ...
