New catalog more than doubles the number of gravitational-wave detections made by LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA observatories
The latest crop of space-time wobbles includes a variety of heavy, fast-spinning, and lopsided colliding black holes.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) consists of two widely separated installations within the United States — one in Hanford Washington and the other in Livingston, Louisiana — operated in unison as a single observatory. LIGO is operated by the LIGO Laboratory, a consortium of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Funded by the National Science Foundation, LIGO is an international resource for both physics and astrophysics.
Depuis des décennies, les scientifiques savent que l’Antarctique abrite un phénomène gravitationnel unique. Connue sous le nom d’Antarctic Geoid Low (AGL), cette anomalie, également surnommée le « trou de gravité », fascine par son ampleur. En effet, elle est à l’origine d’un niveau de mer plus bas qu’ailleurs, créant une sorte de creux invisible mais mesurable. #gravitation

Astronauten schweben nicht, weil es keine Schwerkraft gibt, sondern weil die ISS im permanenten freien Fall um die Erde kreist. Sie fallen gemeinsam mit der Station – darum spüren sie kein Gewicht. #Gravitation #Physik #Lernen
