LIGO's Science Saturday April 6th, 10-4 (and it's about Shadows to celebrate the eclipse)! https://t.co/13ILAADJU0

[LIGO Livingston @LIGOLA]

Tomorrow @LIGOLA is open to the public 10-4 for Science Saturday's Math Madness. https://t.co/13ILAADJU0

[LIGO Livingston @LIGOLA]

Float a pencil, see funnels roll uphill, and most of all explore LIGO-related science! While the rain that's forecast may put a damper on the outdoor portion of the tour, we will still open our doors to the public on Feb. 3rd. https://t.co/13ILAADJU0

Tonight's Question: "Barry Barish who shared the 2017 prize for detecting gravitational waves, called his award 'a win for' this predecessor #jeopardy #gwave #einstein #NobelPrize

[LIGO Livingston @LIGOLA]

This #GWave is just 8 years old (from our discovery), really it was a billion years old when we found it. Happy birthday #GWaveAstronomy !

[LIGO @LIGO]

Happy 8th birthday to the one that started it all: #GW150914! After Einstein predicted the existence of #GravitationalWaves, it took 100 years to detect the first. Now, in #O4, we detect a gravitational-wave event about once every 3 days!

Want to work at @LIGOLA doing outreach? We are looking for a Physical Science Educator https://t.co/aFFnhDdlsd and a science program evaluator and educator https://t.co/YdjFW0cV0k #funjobs #gravitywaves #EducationJobs

[LIGO Livingston @LIGOLA]

The first detection of gravitational waves (GW) occurred 7 years ago with GW150914. Each wave uses GW and the date of detection as its name: yearmonthdate. So in 2015, 09th month, 14th day @LIGOLA & @LIGOWA made first GW history with the @LIGO detection HAPPY 7TH! #GWhistory
