India to get its very own Gravitational-Waves Observatory
A gravitational-waves observatory is designed to measure the smallest of gravitational waves & the tiniest distortions in space-time.
Project LIGO is an advanced ‘Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.’ The project recently got the Indian government’s nod & will soon be installed in India.
This will be the third such laboratory to ever be installed and the first one to be constructed outside the US. A third detector will expand the network of search allowing scientists to estimate the position of the sources of waves. This move will further boost India’s science & astronomy sector.
The plan is to make it operational by 2024.
Here’s to putting the country on the map of research!
