After 25 years, an international group of astronomers, including from @jodrellbank @OfficialUoM, have seen the first evidence of low frequency gravitational waves that could hold answers about the formation and evolution of our Universe! 🌌 Image: Danielle Futselaar, MPIfR

Well done to the teams ⁦@jodrellbank⁩ and ⁦@unibirmingham⁩ for their role in detecting the shockwaves from orbiting galaxies. bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Scientists pick up shock waves from colliding galaxies

Astronomers may have picked up the first signals from giant black holes spiralling in on each other.

Astronomen van @EPTAGW vinden bewijs voor ultra-laagfrequente zwaartekrachtgolven. Andere samenwerkingen (@CSIRO_ATNF @ARC_OzGRav @NANOGrav en CPTA) hebben onafhankelijk van elkaar soortgelijke resultaten gerapporteerd. astronomie.nl/nieuws/pulsar-…
