Neutron Star Collision!

Post by Wade Hampton III » Mon Oct 16, 2017 11:04 am

Once again, scientists have detected gravitational waves — ripples in the fabric
of space and time created by objects moving throughout the Universe. And this time,
the celestial signal stems from a never-before-seen event: the merger of two
neutron stars. In contrast to past observations of gravitational waves, the event
was also detectable by regular light telescopes, giving scientists unprecedented
insight into this cosmic collision.
