gravitational waves

ASTROSAT is India's maiden multi-wavelength space mission to study the cosmos! and was launched on September 28, 2015 on board ISRO's PSLV-C30 mission.

These were detected for the first time on September 14, 2015, announced by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Virgo interferometer.

Dr. Karan Jani is one of the authors of the paper that shook the international scientific community in 2016 by confirming gravitational waves. He talks about his love for science, his journey as a researcher, and the story behind the famous paper.

At a time when India is battling a brain drain epidemic, here are some ambitious global projects that hold a world of promise for Indian scientists and are giving them a much-needed boost.

A consortium of scientists including many from India, confirmed on Thursday that they have detected gravitational waves that were first predicted by Albert Einstein. Indian scientists played a very important role in this discovery.
