Announced by the LIGO team, the latest gravitational wave observation took place in late December last year.
LIGO(激光干涉仪引力波天文台)合作组宣布,最近一次探测到引力波是去年年末 。
Astronomer Scott Ransom even exclaimed that the era of gravitational wave astronomy is upon us!
宇航员斯科特·雷森甚至惊讶道,引力波天文学时代寄托在我们身上!
Though Ransom is not a member of the team,
尽管雷森不是合作组成员,
a spokesperson with LIGO added that the observation is beginning to reveal a spectrum of black hole systems.
