When I was a teenager in Ann Arbor I was in a band with Peter Saulson. Now he's the head of LIGO. He played the harmonica. Back then we sported much more hair on our heads.

That possible light signal is such a fascinating twist. Black hole mergers are supposed to be dark, so the moment you add light it means there may have been hot gas nearby doing part of the talking.
