The proposed budget for LIGO in the 2026 fiscal year would be $29 million, a 40% reduction from the allotted $48 million in the 2024 fiscal year, according to the budget proposal document.

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 ...

Pune: The construction of LIGO India is finally set to start in Maharashtra's Hingoli, two years after the project was approved by the Union Cabinet.

If you ask Filipinos to name a brand of sardines, it will not be surprising to hear them say, “Ligo.” 2024 marks a milestone for the Ligo brand – first introduced in the Philippines in 1954 – as it ...

One of LIGO’s four 40-kg mirrors cooled during the experiment. Together, these mirrors form a mechanical oscillator of 10-kg — which the team cooled down in their experiment.

Similar to the twin LIGO observatories in the US—and building on the lessons learned in constructing and operating them—LIGO-India will house an L-shaped, 4-kilometer-by-4-kilometer detector called an ...

Richland, WA. 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 ...

LIGO first became world-famous in Sept. 2015, when it detected gravitational waves from merging black holes for the first time. These ripples had traveled for around 1.4 billion years, squashing ...

LIGO is a U.S. science megaproject built to detect ripples in spacetime known as gravitational waves. The ones we can detect are largely created by the mergers of black holes and neutron stars.
