Neutronstjerners sammenstød rystede universet

For første gang er det lykkedes at opfange tyngdebølger såvel som lys fra to kolliderende neutronstjerner. Den banebrydende opdagelse indleder en helt ny æra inden for astronomien.

Astronomerne har fået en ekstra sans

Nu er det for første gang lykkedes at detektere tyngdebølger såvel som elektromagnetiske stråling fra det samme objekt. Vi har fået en ny sans, så vi nu også kan opfatte tyngdeverdenen, vi kan både se og høre universet.
