In May 2023, a gravitational wave detector Lego Livingstone Observatory In the United States of America he received a signal from A A massive cosmic collision comes from. They are created when massive objects collide in space Space-time distortionsWhich spread like waves and can be measured on Earth. The collision in question was something special. One of the two objects in question was almost certainly a neutron star, but the other seems mysterious.

The star's body shatters
Neutron stars are formed during their decay Huge stars at the end of their lives. They are particularly dense but small objects. Black holes, on the other hand, come from larger objects, which are smaller and denser, and have such a strong gravitational pull that even light rays cannot escape from them. Gravitational wave detectors specialize in Vibrations in space-time To measure and represent an effective tool for detecting cosmic collisions that occurred at large distances.
the Signal analysis GW230529_181500 It took a few months. The findings were summarized in a study, which is now a draft Posted on the LIGO website had become.
