LIGO and Virgo observatories detect gravitational wave signals from black hole collision
2017
In August, detectors on two continents recorded gravitational wave signals from a pair of black holes colliding. This discovery, announced today, is the first observation of gravitational waves by three different detectors, marking a new era of greater insights and improved localization of cosmic events now available through globally networked gravitational-wave observatories.
LIGO and Virgo observatories detect the gravitational wave signal from two merging black holes.
