Gravity waves on Venus create 'fountain of Aphrodite'
...," adds Bertaux. "Despite the name, these have nothing to do with gravitational waves, which are ripples in space-time – instead, gravity waves are an atmospheric phenomenon we often see in mountainous parts of Earth's surface. Crudely speaking, they...

Global robotic network for monitoring near-Earth and outer space
... space observatories. The fact that the world’s largest physical experiments on neutrino registration (ANTARES, IceCube) and gravitational waves (LIGO/VIRGO) work with MASTER speaks of its quality. MASTER II’s decade-long working experience has shown...

Missing matter still lost, as Fast Radio Burst not quite what it seems say researchers
... enigmatic signals really could be used as cosmological standard candles and hence help pinpoint the location of gravitational waves for example or if they can be explained by known processes from familiar objects. Information on this research can...

Space kaleidoscope - towards a genuine multi-messenger exploration
...director in NASA’s history. Cosmic messengers In 2015, multi-messenger astronomy revealed how a joint gravitational-wave and electromagnetic broadband observation can provide complementary information that is fundamental to understanding the workings...

LISA Pathfinder set for liftoff
... first contact expected two minutes later. LISA Pathfinder will test-drive the hardware for detecting gravitational waves – tiny perturbations in the fabric of space-time that are theorised by scientists to have been produced in the fractions...

Black hole collision may have exploded with light
... allowed the ZTF scientists to look for light signals from the location where the gravitational wave signal originated. These gravitational wave detectors have also spotted mergers between dense cosmic objects called neutron stars, and astronomers...
