Gravitational waves have officially been detected by ligo. Ligo and virgo detect neutron star smashups may 5, 2019. This is a list of observedcandidate gravitational wave events. The laser interferometer gravitationalwave observatory ligo was designed to open the field of gravitationalwave astrophysics through the direct detection of gravitational waves predicted by einsteins general theory of relativity. Ligo has played a role in all subsequent detections to date, with virgo joining in august 2017. The black holes are spinning in a nonaligned fashion, which means they have different orientations relative to the overall orbital motion of the pair.
