Observatory at risk from Trump cuts helps make stunning black hole discovery

The LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through Earth from the most massive collision of black holes ever observed, a coalition of the world’s four gravitational wave observatories announced Tuesday.

What LIGO's Second Gravitational Wave Discovery Means For Science

And LIGO’s second gravitational wave event, GW151226, is great for both! Essentially, on the pessimist’s side, GW151226 makes it all-but-certain that LIGO is picking up genuine gravitational ...
