- In the latest edition of the #LIGOMagazine, Catalina Miritescu told us all about bringing #GravitationalWave noise hunting with @ligo.org-@egovirgo.bsky.social-KAGRA to the Romanian National Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad! Read all about it at (pdf, page 38): ligo.org/wp-content/u...
- Reposted by LIGO MagazineWe are pleased to announce our discovery of #GW241011 and #GW241110 Both come from binary black holes where one black hole is much larger than the other. The larger black holes have large spin. Could these black holes have formed in a previous merger? ligo.org/science-summ... #O4IsHere 🔭🧪⚛️☄️
- Reposted by LIGO MagazineOur next webinar will introduce our latest #GWTC4 release and the associated data (papers arxiv.org/abs/2508.18080 and arxiv.org/abs/2508.18079) Tomorrow at 15:00 UTC, with the recording on YouTube after Free registration wisconsin-edu.zoom.us/webinar/regi... ☄️🔭
- Reposted by LIGO Magazine14th Sep was celebrated internationally by the international scientific community as the tenth anniversary of the first direct detection of #Gravitationalwaves. LIGO-India EPO joined the global celebration by organising a special event on this day IUCAA, Pune
- Reposted by LIGO MagazineYesterday's Astronomy Picture of the Day #APOD featured #GW250114!

- Reposted by LIGO MagazineHappy birthday GW150914! When you were detected I was still an undergrad looking to get into GWs for her PhD (it's important to my internal story of myself that I wanted to do this *before* the detection) It's hard to believe how far we've come since then. 🐡🧪🔭 #GW10Years
- Reposted by LIGO MagazineExactly 10 years ago, the signal of a gravitational wave from the merger of two black holes arrived on Earth. It was not a special signal, but one like many that had always reached our planet. On that day, however, for the first time humankind was ready to listen to it. (1/7)
