Gravitational waves:
So many new toys to unwrap |
|
The significance of this the
event is that on 17
August 2017 it
was recorded first from its
gravitational wave
signature, the way it warped
space-time (a major
breakthrough); and then -
over subsequent days -
through its light emissions
at many different
wavelengths - from
gamma-rays all the way
through to radio waves |
