LIGO and Virgo Make First Detection of Gravitational waves Produced by Colliding Neutron Stars
Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2017 5:30 pm
Astronomers have made one of the biggest breakthroughs of the decade after detecting both gravitational waves and gamma rays from the merger of two neutron stars. For the first time, scientists have directly detected gravitational waves — ripples in space-time — in addition to light from the spectacular collision of two neutron stars. This marks the first time that a cosmic event has been viewed in both gravitational waves and light. Read more at MIT News.
