Neturon Star Collision Produces Gravitational Waves Detected by LIGO

Physicists have detected gravitational waves, for the very first time, from the collision of two neutron stars. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) made this observation. LIGO is a collaborative project with more than one thousand researchers from over 20 countries, including the University of Minnesota.
