"Masses in the Stellar Graveyard" sounds like an early Black Sabbath album

LIGO is a triumph of science and engineering. It's literally the culmination of 400 years of science.

The detectors are amazing. Three to four kilometers long, forming a cross that vibrates mirrors to detect polarized lasers.

So cool we are "listening" to black hole music. This new field is fascinating as hell.

Absolutely fascinating stuff. If this isn't a new golden age for astrophysics I don't know what could be. Nerdy science stuff aside, I like how Anton pronounces 'cosmos'--always makes my night!
