From March 9th to March 13th, Pisa will be home to the global gravitational waves community! EGO and Virgo will host the @ligo.org - Virgo - KAGRA Collaboration Meeting, the biannual meeting of the gravitational wave community, for the first time in Italy after more than a decade.

Citrini Research imagines a report from two years in the future, in which unemployment has doubled and the total value of the stock market has fallen by more than a third.

🍂 What if a black hole born from the merger of two black holes merged with another black hole? We may find out thanks to gravitational waves, such as those observed by the @ligo.org - Virgo - KAGRA Collaboration in autumn 2024. Let's learn about these signals!

Our next LIGO @egovirgo.bsky.social KAGRA webinar will introduce the analysis methods used for our #GWTC4 results (paper arxiv.org/abs/2508.18081) 19 February at 15:00 UTC, with the recording on YouTube after Register for free wisconsin-edu.zoom.us/webinar/regi... 🔭 ☄️ ⚛️ 🧪

A small group of scientists and engineers in New Zealand just got a little closer to replicating the power of the sun in their quest to achieve nuclear fusion by levitating a half-tonne magnet inside a chamber of superheated gas.

Photons take some time to bubble up to the surface of a supernova, while neutrinos zip right out. Perfect way to get advance warning of a supernova in our galaxy. snews2.org

It has been a busy first decade for gravitational-wave astronomy Here is to another decade of discoveries! #GW10Years

Flights in and out of New Zealand’s capital Wellington have been canceled, homes evacuated and power cut as strong winds and heavy rain lash the North Island

Yesterday at the Planetarium of Rome, on the tenth anniversary of the announcement of the discovery of gravitational waves, the film for planetariums "Einstein Telescope, listening to the universe beyond the stars" was screened for the first time.

We’re looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join Dr Ekaterina Hertog’s @katyahe.bsky.social team, exploring the digital lives of care-experienced young people and how policy can better support them online. 📍 Full-time | 24 months fixed term Find out more: www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/vacan...

We're rather proud of this paper (which is free to read) #GW10Years

10 years ago today, our discovery paper was published in Physical Review Letters doi.org/10.1103/Phys... It has gone on to be highly cited. But it has also had an impact outside of academia—its @altmetric.com is in the top 1000 aps.altmetric.com/details/5333... #GW10Years #OTD #OpenAccess 🔭⚛️🧪

OTD 10 years ago, LIGO detected gravitational waves for the first time. Here's how @castelvecchi.bsky.social reported on it: www.nature.com/articles/530...

10 years ago today, we told the world "We have detected gravitational waves. We did it!" Relive the moment we shared our result with the world www.youtube.com/live/aEPIwEJ... #GW10Years #OTD 🔭🧪⚛️ 🎂

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science ♀️ Change is possible and is already happening, but there is still a lot to do, here’s some data to help us understand!
