NASA Unveils Six Telescope Prototype for Detecting Gravitational Waves from Colliding Black Holes
Oct 23, 2024, 09:32 PM
NASA has unveiled a full-scale prototype for a new telescope designed to detect gravitational waves, specifically from colliding black holes. This initiative represents a significant advancement in the agency's efforts to explore the universe and understand cosmic phenomena. The telescope is part of a broader mission that includes six telescopes aimed at enhancing the detection capabilities for gravitational waves, which are ripples in spacetime caused by massive celestial events. This development is expected to provide deeper insights into the nature of black holes and the dynamics of the universe.
