Space Mog | Pulsars have revealed the gravitational wave background @SpaceMog | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 12 hours ago
Hi Spacecats, I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and welcome to my channel, where you can find all things space, astronomy and physics! On the 29th June 2023, the Nanograv collaboration in conjunction with other pulsar timing array projects, announced the first detection of the predicted gravitational wave background. Let's find out more.
