The latest catalogue of gravitational wave discoveries released by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA includes several exceptional events. The event #GW250114 is one such astronomical discovery, strikingly similar to the first ever detection in 2015 exactly ten years ago, but three times brighter

LIGO-India outreach team was glad to be invited by IISER Pune to participate in Mimamsa SciCon, a vibrant science festival that aims to spark curiosity and foster scientific engagement among students and general public! 🤩

Recently LIGO-India organised an #astrophotography workshop to capture the celestial sky 🔭📷, followed by a contest "Cosmic Canvas" 🌌🎨 where the participants put their acquired skills to test. We received an overwhelming response, and the entries are spectacular😍

As India celebrates #NationalScienceDay this Feb 28, join us at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (Pune), where we showcase multi-disciplinary aspects of #GravitationalWave science and LIGO-India mega-science project🇮🇳 ⏰10:00-18:00

LIGO-India EPO is organizing the first online symposium "Glorious Women" to celebrate women in #gravitationalwave astronomy. The 2-day event brings together women scientists at different career stages to share their work across various collaborations and research areas👩‍🦰👩‍🦳👩‍🦱🌀

🌌LIGO-India participated in IIT Jodhpur's techfest #Prometeo2026 on 16th and 17th January. #Gravitationalwave science researchers Ankur Chhabra and Rutuja Pilgar from @bitspilani.bsky.social volunteered on behalf of LIGO-India Education and Public Outreach.

✨LIGO-India, one of the largest upcoming mega science projects in India, participated in the @iitbombay.bsky.social TechFest from 22nd to 24th December 2025. 🌌

LIGO-India presents a special edition of COSMICWEB by the National Space Society (USA)–Mumbai, released during World Space Week 📖🔭🌌 It explores gravitational wave science, cutting-edge observatories like LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA, LISA, NANOGrav, Einstein Telescope and their impact on science and society🌀

A year of chasing cosmic ripples 🌊✨ We turn another page and usher in another year, looking back at 2025 as eventful and productive. LIGO-India is pleased to announce its triannual e-magazine "Chasing Ripples",— a journey through stories of science, curiosity and gravitational-wave enthusiasm 🚀

Put your newly learnt astrophotography skills to the test! 🔭📸 LIGO-India Education and Public Outreach is organizing yet another *Art-Astronomy* contest 🎨🌠 Selected images will be displayed at the LIGO-India booth on National Science Day or featured on our virtual gallery.

On #childrensweek, LIGO-India features initiatives that inspire children to learn about #astronomy and #gravitationalwaves. National Astronomy Challenge organised by @space_stem has been inspiring young minds in grades 4-9 by sparking their curiosity to explore the cosmos! 🚀

Have you heard about the #MissionGravity program from Ozgrav - ARC Centre of Excellence for #GravitationalWave Discovery? Find out how kids are learning about #Astronomy through this engaging #virtualrealityexperience ! 🤩👩🧑🪐💫 @ozgrav.bsky.social #childrensweek #astronomyforkids

Children's day is celebrated in India on 14 Nov and globally on 20 Nov. Celebrate Children's week with LIGO-India, as we highlight the wonderful initiatives and resources for school students who are keen to discover Gravitational wave science! 🧒👦✨

Five days. Forty participants. One shared passion — exploring the universe through gravitational waves! Five inspiring days of discovery and learning at the Workshop on Gravitational Waves and LIGO India, held at HNB Garhwal University

@ligo.org, Virgo and KAGRA have observed 'second generation' black holes for the first time! 🕳️🕳️ In a new paper published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the International Collaboration announced the observation of two very special gravitational signals

We’re closer to solving dark matter thanks to these black holes! OzGrav PhD student at ANU, Aswathi, was part of the analysis team of the GW241011+GW241110 special event paper. Here she explains how these events helped refine our understanding of dark matter. youtube.com/shorts/wW4yp...

Detection alert 📢 Gravitational waves from two black hole collisions revealed how massive black holes form and allowed theories of General relativity and Particle physics to be tested. Find out from the blog article by Ish Gupta, postdoc @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, part of the discovery team.

Ever wondered how a #GravitationalWave Detector like LIGO-India is built? Step into the world of precision science and discover what goes into creating one of the most sensitive instruments in the world!

14th Sep was celebrated internationally by the international scientific community as the tenth anniversary of the first direct detection of #Gravitationalwaves. LIGO-India EPO joined the global celebration by organising a special event on this day IUCAA, Pune
