One detector isn't enough to
confirm a gravitational wave event, however.
Not exact matches
Gravitational waves were first detected in September 2015, and that too was a red - letter
event in physics and astronomy; it
confirmed one of the main predictions of Albert Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity and earned a Nobel prize for the scientists who discovered them.
The 1.54 meter telescope is the same one that participated of the kilonova discovery that traveled the world with the news of the first
gravitational wave event with a
confirmed optical counterpart (is worth to mention that the OAT also tried to contributed there), but in this case I worked with the Perrine Telescope (76 cm).
