Damage sidelines Virgo gravitational wave detector.

The two LIGO detectors are performing well and should be ready for the 24 May restart, says Patrick Brady, an astrophysicist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and spokesperson for the LIGO collaboration. NEWS Later this month, physicists will resume their hunt for astrophysical monsters: black holes and neutron stars going bump in the dark and emitting ripples in space called gravitational waves. Virgo proved the value of such triangulation in August 2017 when it and the LIGO detectors spotted the first neutron star merger. [Extracted from the article]
