Gravitational Waves Unveiled

Discover how giant laser beams are used to detect the minuscule disturbances caused by gravitational waves as black holes and neutron stars collide. These incredibly dense objects, comparable in size to Manhattan, shine brightly during their mergers, allowing scientists to measure the timing of light and gravitational signals. As more neutron star events are expected in the coming years, the potential for groundbreaking discoveries in astrophysics is on the horizon.
