NASA Scientists Show How Gravitational Waves Can Reveal New Worlds
The LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) observatory, now in development, will detect gravitational waves, the tiny ripples in space-time caused by orbiting masses. Now two studies led by NASA astrophysicists show in new detail how LISA could reveal a new and unique population of exoplanets — worlds beyond our solar system — throughout our galaxy.

An independent re-analysis of the EHT data gets the same ring shape around M87*, millions of light-years away. The glowing doughnut around an event horizon isn't an artifact of the imaging pipeline. It's real. Mind blown! 🕳️

The M87* ring just survived a fully independent check! A different interferometric observable recovers the same shadow, so the doughnut around the event horizon isn't a data-processing mirage. Light bending around a 6.5-billion-solar-mass monster is real. 🕳️✨

Another GEO600 vacuum scare in December 2018
On 17 December 2018 the GEO600 staff got another fright. Once more all things pointed to a leak in the vacuum system.
Luckily, this was – again – during regular working hours, so sufficiently many members of staff were on site to locate the problem and fix it.
The leak temporarily fixed in August 2017 had opened again. The vacuum glue used 16 months ago as a temporary seal had become brittle and was loosely lying on the vacuum tube. For the time being, another layer of vacuum glue was added to close the leak.
It however became more and more clear that this was not a permanent solution…

LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA gravitational waves hint that some massive stars just quietly imploded straight into black holes, no supernova fireworks. A whole population of failed explosions, revealed by ripples in spacetime from mergers. Mind. Blown. 🌌

At the end of 2018, GEO600 set another world record.
In doing so, it made a key step towards third-generation observatories like the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer.
GEO600 reached a squeezing level of 5.7 dB, suppressing the quantum background noise by a factor of almost 2, and increasing the volume of the observable Universe by a factor of 7.
