"Unveiling the Mysteries of Space: LISA Mission to Explore Gravitational Waves and Venus"
TL;DR
The European Space Agency and NASA have approved the LISA project, a space-based gravitational wave detector that will consist of three spacecraft forming a triangle of laser light to detect distortions in space caused by cosmic collisions. LISA's million-fold increase in scale will enable it to detect lower-frequency gravitational waves, providing advanced warning of collisions and probing events from the epoch of cosmic dawn. The detector, set to be launched in 2035, will open a new window to some of cosmology's biggest questions.
