Gravitational waves are the future of astronomy!
Many recent breakthroughs in astronomy involve the study of gravitational waves. These peculiar waves were predicted by Einstein in 1916. And in 2015, gravitational waves were first detected by Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors. Why are they so important in studying astronomy? Let us find out in Prof. Goto’s discussion about gravitational waves.
