🇬🇷 If you’re in Athens this week (April 16th - 21st) come join us at @AthensSciFest! You will find an area dedicated to Virgo with many interactive activities where you can discover more about gravitational waves, organized by Ellinogermaniki Agogi with the support of EGO.
Wednesday, April 17, 6 p.m., at #Oblate Library in Florence, "The challenge of gravitational waves: from Virgo to the Einstein Telescope," with Gianluca Gemme and Silvia Piranomonte. Event by @ego_virgo, in collaboration with @INFN_ and @museogalileo.
👉
At 5 PM today Virgo will restart gravitational wave observation, joining the @LIGO detectors for the second part of the fourth observing run (O4b) of the LVK Collaboration!
Tomorrow the second half of the LVK Collaboration’s fourth observing run (O4) begins! Virgo will join @LIGO and together they will once again listen to gravitational wave signals from the universe. (1/2)
🔎 Today the @LIGO - Virgo - @KAGRA_PR Collaboration published a paper on the first exceptional gravitational wave event from the first half of the fourth observing run, GW230529! (1/4)
