APOD: LIGO Detects Gravitational Waves from Merging Black Holes (2016 Feb 11)

Explanation: Gravitational radiation has been directly detected. The first-ever detection was made by both facilities of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in Washington and Louisiana simultaneously last September. After numerous consistency checks, the resulting 5-sigma discovery was published today. The measured gravitational waves match those expected from two large black holes merging after a death spiral in a distant galaxy, with the resulting new black hole momentarily vibrating in a rapid ringdown. A phenomenon predicted by Einstein, the historic discovery confirms a cornerstone of humanity's understanding of gravity and basic physics. It is also the most direct detection of black holes ever. The featured illustration depicts the two merging black holes with the signal strength of the two detectors over 0.3 seconds superimposed across the bottom. Expected future detections by Advanced LIGO and other gravitational wave detectors may not only confirm the spectacular nature of this measurement but hold tremendous promise of giving humanity a new way to see and explore our universe.

Many thanks to Anna Roch (https://www.facebook.com/ajuanroch) for her enthusiasm!

El Festival Pint of Sciences llega a Valencia de la mano de InnDEA Valencia, a través de la red VIT Salud. De esta manera, nuestra ciudad se une al grupo internacional de ciudades que organizan el Festival Pint of Sciences por todo el mundo y que tendrá lugar los días 18, 19 y 20 de mayo simultáneam…

This documentary talks about the impact of supercomputers both in science and our daily lives.
The results shown were obtained in the project Consolider: Supercomputación y e-Ciencia (Supercomputing and e-Science) which is part of the Consolider -- Ingenio 2010 programme. Its main goal is to advance in the field of applied supercomputing through several areas of science. Coordinated by the BSC, this project intends to boost cooperation between 21 Spanish research groups, broaden the culture of supercomputing in Spain and also have a say in the design and efficient use of present and future supercomputers.

This video shows the results obtained in the project Consolider: Supercomputación y e-Ciencia (Supercomputing and e-Science) which is part of the Consolider ...
