An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as ...
The detection was awesome, but let's look at the name of the detector for a second: Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (maybe I should call it LIGWO). LIGO is first and ...
Astrophysicists have analyzed two merging black holes; the team's best models suggest that at least one, if not both, of the ...
The LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through ...
LIGO’s 20-month observation run 04 will officially start on May 24, and it will later be joined by Virgo and a new Japanese observatory—the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector, or KAGRA.

However, that detector wasn’t ready to go operational, though they are hoping to have it up and running by the fall. The goal of all of these gravitational wave detectors is to detect and ...
LIGO’s detectors in Hanford, Wash., and near Livingston, La., look for subatomic-scale ripples in the fabric of spacetime that are caused by gravitational-wave disturbances generated many ...
Within three weeks, it spotted its first gravitational wave event. A new era. Entire books could be written about all the steps that LIGO takes to limit the noise that is a constant feature of ...
