Gravitational Waves

The rhythms of activity in all biological organisms, both plants and animals, are closely linked to the gravitational tides created by the orbital mechanics of the Sun-Earth-Moon system, a study found

The waves were produced by the merger of black holes seven and 12 times the mass of the Sun and left behind a final black hole 18 times the mass of the Sun

Astronomers have long suspected that the merger of two neutron stars could be the overture to a short gamma-ray burst

The hope is that gravitational waves could open up the door to answering some of the biggest mysteries in science

The maiden detection of gravitational waves occurred on September 14, 2015

They were united by their passion to "hear" the universe with gravitational waves

Originally predicted in the early 20th century by Albert Einstein, gravitational waves were not detected until 2015

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its core, which can exhibit millions or even billions of solar masses

The international LIGO and Virgo collaborations had announced that they had detected gravitational waves for the first time.

A Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) will be established
