10 Years of Gravitational Wave Astronomy<\/h2>\n

On September 14, 2015, a signal from two colliding black holes was recorded by the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories (LIGO). This was the first time gravitational-waves were detected, confirming\u00a0a 100-year-old prediction of Albert Einstein and providing definitive proof of the existence of black holes. Join us for a discussion of this historic scientific discovery and what we have learned in the 10 years since then about black holes and the nature of gravity.<\/p>\n
