Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Gravitational wave astronomy detects ripples in spacetime caused by massive cosmic events, like merging black holes or neutron stars. These waves, predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, offer a novel way to observe the universe, unveiling phenomena invisible through traditional methods. By analyzing these waves, scientists gain insights into the universe's most violent and energetic processes, enriching our understanding of cosmic evolution and fundamental physics.
