LIGO makes waves; Australian telescopes follow up

Last month, physicists at LIGO made waves with the announcement that elusive gravitational waves - ripples in space time caused by a violent cosmic event taking place in the distant Universe - had finally been observed 100 years after Albert Einstein predicted their existence.

CSIRO's ASKAP team played an exciting part in the follow-up observations, showcasing capabilities offered by the transient survey projects planned for the telescope.
