First Space-Based Gravitational Wave Detector Gets Go-Ahead
The European Space Agency has approved the construction of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), the first space experiment to measure gravitational waves.
LISA will be able to observe gravitational waves of lower frequency than those detected on Earth, allowing it to spot phenomena such as black holes orbiting each other.
Space Lasers Will Seek a New Kind of Gravitational Waves
Gravitational-wave observatories can detect the stirrings of early cosmic arrivals, such as black holes.
The European Space Agency has approved the space observatory LISA, which will search for specific frequencies of gravitational waves unseen by current ground-based detectors.
