Future Gravitational Wave Detector in Space Could Solve Mysteries of the Universe
New research has shown that future gravitational wave detections from space will be capable of finding new fundamental fields and potentially shed new light on unexplained aspects of the Universe.
Professor Thomas Sotiriou from the University of Nottingham’s Centre of Gravity and Andrea Maselli, researcher at GSSI and INFN associate, together with researchers from SISSA, and La Sapienza of Rome, showed the unprecedented accuracy with which gravitational wave observations by the space interferometer LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna), will be able to detect new fundamental fields. The research has been published in Nature Astronomy.
In this new study researchers suggest that LISA, the space-based gravitational-wave (GW) detector which is expected to be launched by ESA in 2037 will open up new possibilities for the exploration of the Universe.
NASA IXPE Captured Cassiopeia A in Its First Photo From Space
After its successful launch last Dec. 9, 2021, the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of the National Aeronatics and Space Administration (NASA) finally shared its first captured photo from space.
Specifically, the subject of the photo is the Cassiopeia A.
The IXPE is tasked with studying around 40 space objects during its first year.
