A Step Toward Gravitational Wave Detection
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime, predicted by Einstein but not yet directly detected. Unlike light, which comes from accelerating charges, gravitational waves come from accelerating masses. Scientists are building detectors to find these tiny jiggles, hoping to open a new window on the universe.
