First Ever Light & Gravitational Wave Cosmic Event!
The merging of two neutron stars was detected by gravitational waves and then by telescopes in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is an incredible first as the distances involved and the minute strength of the gravitational waves are quite staggering! This landmark discovery initiates the field of "multimessenger astrophysics," which promises to reveal exciting new insights about the cosmos.
How do researchers describe the finding? "Superlatives fail," said Richard O'Shaughnessy, a scientist with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) project.
"This is a transformation in the way that we're going to do astronomy," O'Shaughnessy, who's based at the Rochester Institute of Technology's Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation, told Space.com. "It's fantastic."
