They were detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, in the US, and the Virgo gravitational-wave observatory in Italy.2021-11-09T22:57+01009news-be9d604af62daca9bf395ee22b0603d020211109225700https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/09/world/gravitational-waves-most-detected-scn/index.htmlGravitational waves can help scientists better understand the violent life cycle of stars and why they turn into black holes or neutron stars when they die. These ripples in space-time were first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 as part of his theory of general relativity.2021-11-09T20:50+0100google-top-stories-eae0357f20d564e85ef4fc9bf5683eb320211109205000https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/09/world/gravitational-waves-most-detected-scn/index.htmlGravitational waves can help scientists better understand the violent life cycle of stars and why they turn into black holes or neutron stars when they die.
