再次检测到时空涟猗,确证天体物理学新时代开启
-
On August 14, the after-effects of an extreme cosmic blast rippled through you, me, and everyone we know. But you didn't feel it. The only instruments on Earth that knew the fabric of space and time was stretching around and through us were located in Washington, Louisiana, and Italy. On Wednesday, we learned what they saw, and, in fact, heard. SEE ALSO: This is one of the best gravitational waves explainers we've seen The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the U.S. and the Virgo Observatory in Italy detected the ripples in space and time created by two huge black holes - at 31 and 25 times the mass of the sun - crashing into each other at a distance of 1.8 billion
