We are now deeply in the era of gravitational wave astronomy with the LIGO, COGRA, Virgo instruments detecting on the order of a new gravitational wave event from black hole mergers every couple of days. But these are stellar mass black holes, not the much larger supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies.

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of like, know, these, including: But these are stellar mass black holes, not the much larger supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies.
Key takeaways
01We are now deeply in the era of gravitational wave astronomy with the LIGO, COGRA, Virgo instruments detecting on the order of a new gravitational wave event from black hole merger
02When I think about, like, the incredible science that went into just building, say, LIGO here on on Earth, you know, for a while they they weren't even sure this was going to be po
03And even like the first observing run, they didn't make their detections had to keep boosting the technology
