@TarunSouradeep @RRI_Bangalore These look like junk bugs...they are larvae that collect trash to camouflage https://t.co/rGMPzrDviu

[LIGO India @LIGOIndia]

Great opportunity to participate in the development of #gravitationalwave #instrumentscience through LIGO-India Project! In the @LIGO-@Caltech SURF program, selected students will get a chance to work on summer research projects at the Caltech campus or at LIGO Observatory sites

[LIGO India @LIGOIndia]

Are you a student motivated to learn about cutting-edge technologies and research opportunities related to #GravitationalWave astronomy? Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics @IUCAAstro is organising a workshop about GW and LIGO-India in Goa from 27 Nov to 1 Dec

[LIGO @LIGO]

Hello @LIGOWA! Both LIGO observatories are now locked and observing! #O4IsHere

[MPI GravPhys @mpi_grav]

How does the laser light in @LIGO become the data stream in which the gravitational-wave signals are found? @LIGOMagazine, issue 19, to the rescue, explaining the LIGO Controls and Data System (CDS):

Never gets old...the excitement that comes with the start of every observing run. Here comes O4!

[LIGO Hanford @LIGOWA]

It Has Been A Busy/Lucky Morning!
🤩
As we prepare for #ObservingRun4 (O4) in this Engineering Run, we do have windows of observing such as this morning when #GravitationalWave candidate #S230518h was identified.

We are elated to announce that on the occasion of National Technology Day (May 12) 2023, the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India @PMOIndia inaugurated the #megascience project LIGO-India! 🎉

[U.S. National Science Foundation @NSF]

.@NSF is supporting plans for a third LIGO detector, this one in India, so scientists worldwide can better locate the source of gravitational waves, make more detailed observations and open a wider window to the universe. https://t.co/pn11HZndUu

@RanaXAdhikari Shivaji Sondhi and I on @LIGO @LIGOIndia https://t.co/HCqOmIs0Nx @DAEIndia 's RRCAT @RRI_Bangalore We must start training our students across the country, right now, to have a team ready to hit the ground running ~ 2030 @TarunSouradeep @ictstifr @IUCAAstro

@Jimmyjamiv @LIGOWA @LIGO @LIGOIndia This is an artist's impression of the detector for illustrative purposes. The actual detector site is also not as lush green as it is shown in the picture.

The #GravitationalWave detector network is expanding! #LIGOIndia

The call for applications for VSP at IUCAA is out. Many projects that will help understand key concepts of LIGO instrumentation have been listed this year.

[Manasadevi P Thirugnanasambandam @FototacticMoth]

@uvishal1995 @astro_roamer @LIGOIndia @IUCAAstro I missed celebrating with the exciting group members in person......but we had an exciting group chat that morning and I am assured that we will celebrate once again when I am back! We will then also unanimously agree on how to represent the L with our hands!

[Manasadevi P Thirugnanasambandam @FototacticMoth]

It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to the challenge.
