COSMIC MESSAGE

A new way to see the universe is opening up. The LIGO collaboration detected GW151226, the second confirmed burst of gravitational waves, from two black holes merging. This event, like the first, offers a new window into the cosmos, allowing us to observe phenomena that don't emit light.
