It's getting harder and harder for these groups to find good donations for these events.

These mergers are by far the most powerful events occurring in the universe, with each one generating more energy than all of the stars in the universe combined. Now we have realistic simulations to guide gravitational wave detectors coming online.

It is truly a new beginning. We are doing things now that they never asked of us before.

You never know what you will find.

Dates are convenient hooks on which we can hang our memories of events. But history is all about people - people like you and me who did things to change the world.

This clearly has nothing to do with human agency. These dispersal events happened long before humans were around.
