Summary

Description

English: First observation of gravitational waves by LIGO (signal GW150914). Shows the gravitational wave signals received by the LIGO instruments at Hanford, Washington (left) and Livingston, Louisiana (right) and comparisons of these signals to the signals expected due to a black hole merger event.

LIGO重力波的量測。如圖顯示，已分別由LIGO在華盛頓漢福德（圖左）和路易斯安那利文斯頓（圖右）站台接收到重力波訊號，並且這些訊號與雙黑洞事件預期的訊號進行比較。

SVG development

The source code of this SVG is invalid due to 2 errors.

This W3C-invalid diagram was created with Adobe Illustrator.

This diagram is translated using SVG switch elements: all translations are stored in the same file.

This SVG diagram contains embedded raster graphics.^[1] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics.
Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics {{FakeSVG}} is supposed to be used. See also {{TopoSVG}}.

This SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) appears to have been inadequately vectorized, for example, by auto-tracing, and may require revectorization to meet quality standards.
Automatic tracing of complex images can produce overly-large files, inaccurate outlines, and often miss out smaller details completely. Please consider editing this image by hand in a vector editor to improve it. For further information please see our picture tutorial and SVG help. For assistance, refer to the Graphics Lab.
