Byrd and Block Communications Inc., Earth and Sky Radio Series


This radio broadcast explores the detection of gravity waves, which could create a revolution in astronomy, allowing astronomical observations of the interactions between massive objects (such as black holes). The show explains how the LIGO (Laser Interferometry Gravity Wave Observatory) project could find gravity waves. The clip is 1 minute and 25 seconds in length.
