Gravitational Waves: And Two!
Three months after the announcement of the first detection, scientists from the LIGO and Virgo collaborations present a second observation of the coalescence of two black holes, revealed by the gravitational waves emitted during this event. Although the signal is weaker than the first, this second detection is also confirmed with more than 99.99999% confidence.
