A signal lasting less than a second traveled about 1.3 billion light years before it reached an observatory deep in the piney woods of Livingston 10 years ago. The brief signal — caused by a pair of ...
Scientists believe if the Trump administration's proposed budget is approved, a Louisiana space observatory could be on the chopping block and see its scientific mission crippled. The Trump ...
LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (WAFB) - A decade ago, researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected ripples in the fabric of the universe, confirming the existence of ...
The LIGO Hanford Observatory near Richland is expected to detect 60% more cataclysmic cosmic events — like colliding neutron stars and black holes — thanks to a quantum limit breakthrough. Since the ...
LIGO Hanford detected record-setting black hole merger, challenging current knowledge. Merged black holes spun near general relativity’s limit, baffling scientists. Funding cuts threaten U.S.
Researchers have demonstrated a new, unsupervised machine learning approach to find new patterns in the auxiliary channel data of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Finding ...
Interested in visiting the LIGO at Hanford? You’re in luck. LIGO holds tours on the second Saturday of every month with the exception of December and January ...
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Finding patterns and reducing noise in large, complex datasets generated by the gravitational wave-detecting LIGO facility just got easier, thanks to the work of scientists at the ...
