Abstract
- We review the first direct detection of gravitational waves in the first observing run of the newly installed Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detectors. This opens a new window on the universe, using an entirely new phenomena as the messenger to explore the cosmos. We also describe prospects for the future exploration of this new frontier.
