The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a large-scale physics experiment and observatory designed to detect cosmic gravitational waves and to develop gravitational-wave observations as an astronomical tool.
LIGO stands for Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory and is the world's largest gravitational wave observatory. It consists of two 4 km long vacuum tubes that detect and study gravitational waves from violent and energetic processes in the Universe.
Feb 11, 2016 · LIGO is a network of detectors that observes gravitational waves from various sources in the universe. Find out the latest results, discoveries, and events from LIGO and its collaborators Virgo and KAGRA.
Feb 11, 2016 · The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced the detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), a pair of ground-based observatories in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana.
LIGO is a national facility for gravitational-wave research that uses laser interferometry to detect ripples in space-time. LIGO consists of two interferometers in the U.S. that have made several detections of gravitational waves from cosmic events.
