Most Precise Ruler Ever Constructed
This animation illustrates how the twin observatories of LIGO work. One observatory is in Hanford, Washington, the other in Livingston, Louisiana. Each houses a large-scale interferometer, a device that uses the interference of two beams of laser light to make the most precise distance measurements in the world.

KS on Instagram: "... The LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) observatory, established in 2015, consists of two large-scale interferometers located in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana. Its groundbreaking technology allows for the detection of gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by cataclysmic events like black hole mergers. LIGO's discoveries have revolutionized our understanding of the universe and confirmed Einstein's theory of ge
