I visited the first gravitational wave detector! LIGO | STELLAR
Episode Title: I visited the first gravitational wave detector! LIGO | STELLAR Produced by: Physics Girl Description: Thank you to Draper and its Hack the Moon initiative for supporting PBS Digital Studios | Learn more at https://wehackthemoon.com We’ve been waiting to verify the existence of Gravitational Waves for over 100 years and I actually got to go to LIGO to see exactly how they proved it! I know, this video is a bit different from most Physics Girl videos. It's part of a new PBS miniseries called Stellar, done in collaboration with Matt O’Dowd from @PBSSpacetime and Joe Hanson from @It'sOkayToBeSmart. Over six episodes we travel to telescopes, go inside space research centers, and chat with amazing scientists. Next up is Joe's episode where he visits one of the telescopes that was part of world-spanning Event Horizon Telescope. And if you missed it, check out Matt O’Dowd exploring the oldest quasar ever seen at the Gemini Telescope: https://www.youtube.com/watc...
