Aug25: O2 Ends w/ a BANG!
💥
On Fri Aug 25, 2017, O2 ended at 3pmPT for @LIGO & @ego_virgo.
Here's O2 Run Coordinator Keita Kawabe w/ apple cider & the @LIGOWA Control Room with cake!

With our 4th Obs. run set to begin Dec 2022, @LIGO @ego_virgo & @KAGRA_PR are looking forward to more #GoldenBinaries like #GW170817 seen in both #GravityAndLight!

#BlackHoleWeek
In Aug 2017 optical🔭🔭 soon revealed in light the "smoking gun" of the #GW170817 #NeutronStars collision: a #Kilonova in galaxy #NGC4993. For months this 1st cosmic event seen in #GravityAndLight was studied across the #EM spectrum https://t.co/piqQbJTjon #BlackHoleWeek
At 2:41:04 UTC Aug 17th 2017,
@LIGO and @ego_virgo
detected #GW170817: the merger of two #NeutronStars about 130 million light years away and the first ever cosmic event observed in both #GravityAndLight. https://t.co/zoV7QYq5hJ (Poster credit: Karan Jani/Georgia Tech)
Looking ahead, with #O4 hopefully set for 2022, when
@KAGRA_PR joins the global network (then @LIGOIndia later this decade) prospects look good for detecting #BlackHoles binaries almost daily - and observing #NeutronStars and #NSBH collisions in both #GravityAndLight!
In the six years since #GW150914, #BlackHoles mergers haven't had it all their own way...First, Aug 17th 2017 witnessed the first ever binary #NeutronStars detection - and the first ever event observed in both #GravityandLight https://t.co/TiaN1WWxuw https://t.co/9fCKNqaXW7...
With #O4 planned for 2022, when @KAGRA_PR joins the global network (then @LIGOIndia later this decade) prospects look bright for observing more #NeutronStars collisions in both #GravityAndLight! We're looking forward to more #GoldenBinaries like #GW170817 https://t.co/TiaN1WWxuw

At this moment exactly 4 years ago today, 12:41:04 UTC Aug 17th 2017, @LIGO and @ego_virgo detected #GW170817: the merger of 2 #NeutronStars about 130 million light years away and the first ever cosmic event observed in both #GravityAndLight. https://t.co/9fCKNqaXW7
In Aug 2017 @LIGO and @ego_virgo detected #GW170817: our first #NeutronStars merger, and the first ever event observed in both #gravityandlight. This awesome short video tells the story of an exciting new dawn for #MultiMessengerAstronomy https://t.co/bY9q4aLKI9
And #GW150914 was just the beginning! Since then @LIGO and @ego_virgo have confirmed detections of 9 more #BlackHoles mergers + 2 #NeutronStars collisions: #GW170817, first cosmic event observed in #GravityandLight, and #GW190425, announced last month https://t.co/qC0bsmmL3q

Lovely article in @FrontYoungMinds by our own Joey Shapiro Key
on gravitational-wave and multimessenger astronomy #GravityAndLight
Observations of #GW170817 in #gravityandlight have brought fresh insights to some really big questions, from the cosmic expansion rate and the speed of gravity to the origin of precious elements. And the discovery of #GW170817 won some major global awards! https://t.co/gi8yDydywH
What was so special about #GW170817? It was the first ever #NeutronStars merger detected by @LIGO and @ego_virgo (following several #BlackHoles mergers already "seen" before that date). And it was the first ever #GravitationalWaves event *also* observed in light! #gravityandlight
"It's like the night before Christmas" -- Prof. Foley talks about the new @LIGO @ego_virgo source, #S190814bv and the team trying to combine #GravityandLight again https://t.co/y7UCAjNJzS
Detecting #GW170814 began a super exciting week for @LIGO & @ego_virgo in 2017. Just 3 days later we detected #GW170817: a #NeutronStars collision that was the first ever event "seen" in both #GravityandLight. Stay tuned for some #MultiMessenger memories of #GW170817 this weekend
.@ESA_Integral also saw the flash of light from the merging neutron stars detected by @LIGO in gravitational waves in 2017 👍

Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time caused by accelerated objects. @NASAFermi detected the first light from a @LIGO gravitational wave source two years ago, kicking off a new era of coordinated gravity and light studies! #gravityrules

📽️ Our Director of Science, Prof Günther Hasinger, explains how we could observe merging supermassive #blackholes both in X-rays & gravitational waves with our #Athena & #LISA missions #GravityRules #MultiMessengerAstronomy #GravityAndLight #Space19plus
https://t.co/9x5L08Q3lo
What happens when two supermassive #blackholes collide? Combining the observing power of two future ESA missions, #Athena & #LISA, would allow us to study these cosmic clashes and their mysterious aftermath for the first time #GravityRules #GravityAndLight
