Episode 225 - Another LIGO discovery, hungry black holes, neutron star based GPS for space travel6/6/2017
We find out what the latest LIGO discovery means for gravitational waves and black holes. Plus finding out why black holes grew so quickly and a new observatory for Neutron Stars.
We've also spoken about LIGO several times before on our podcast. Check out our episodes below including a chat with one of the LIGO research team at our Science Cafe (Episode 128). We also talked about the mechanisms for black holes colliding and the discovery of gravitational waves in Episodes 157 and Episode 175.
