Scientists believe if the Trump administration's proposed budget is approved, a Louisiana space observatory could be on the chopping block and see its scientific mission crippled. The Trump ...

Trump budget proposal seeks to close one of two U.S. LIGO observatories by 2026. LIGO facilities detected first gravitational waves and advanced multi-messenger astronomy. Proposed closure risks ...

A signal lasting less than a second traveled about 1.3 billion light years before it reached an observatory deep in the piney woods of Livingston 10 years ago. The brief signal — caused by a pair of ...

LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (WAFB) - A decade ago, researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected ripples in the fabric of the universe, confirming the existence of ...

The LIGO Hanford Observatory near Richland is expected to detect 60% more cataclysmic cosmic events — like colliding neutron stars and black holes — thanks to a quantum limit breakthrough. Since the ...

The best place to observe the stars is among them, which is why Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope have been deployed outside Earth's murky atmosphere. At least, that's the case when you're ...

Interested in visiting the LIGO at Hanford? You’re in luck. LIGO holds tours on the second Saturday of every month with the exception of December and January ...

This is an aerial view of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detector in Livingston, Louisiana. LIGO has two detectors: one in Livingston and the other in Hanford, ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new, unsupervised machine learning approach to find new patterns in the auxiliary channel data of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Finding ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Finding patterns and reducing noise in large, complex datasets generated by the gravitational wave-detecting LIGO facility just got easier, thanks to the work of scientists at the ...
