On A Thurs Morning (right about now) 6-Yrs Ago Teams Of Astronomers Around The World Were On A Search. Earlier on 8/17/17 (5:41am PT), #GravitationalWaves were recorded by @LIGO & @ego_virgo and 1.7 secs later gamma rays were detected by @NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope!!

#OTD in 2017, the @LIGO + Virgo collaboration detected gravitational waves from colliding black holes. Just 3 days later, it viewed for the first time colliding neutron stars in both gravitational waves and light. bit.ly/3sg5XQ1 📷: @NSF/LIGO/@SSU_1961/A. Simonnet

We are sad to share news of the passing of Dr. Rhondale (Ron) Tso. Ron was a valued member of our collaboration. You may learn more about him from this interview from his grad school days humansofligo.blogspot.com/2018/08/rhonda… Our thoughts are with Ron's family and friends

The detection of neutrino emission from the Milky Way at the @NSF-supported IceCube represents the 3rd source of high-energy neutrinos. More sensitive analyses, coupled with the implementation of machine learning methods, were key in the breakthrough.

Exciting news! An analysis of NANOGrav’s 15-year data shows evidence for the existence of low-frequency gravitational waves. Teams in Australia, China, Europe, and India have also independently reported their results today. @EPTAGW @InPTA_GW @ARC_OzGRav @CSIRO_ATNF

We see early signs of a Gravitational Wave background in our combined dataset with @EPTAGW. These results corroborate with those from @NANOGrav and PPTA @CSIRO_ATNF @ARC_OzGRav Read along in this thread to know this discovery was made and it's consequences!
