"European Space Agency Approves LISA Space-Based Gravitational Wave Detector"
TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency has approved the construction of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) project, which will consist of three spacecraft placed 2.5 million kilometers apart in space to detect low-frequency gravitational waves and explore new astronomical phenomena. LISA's design involves spacecraft with a stable platform to pick up changes in laser, and it is expected to detect impending collisions, supermassive black hole mergers, and early gravitational fluctuations from the Big Bang. The launch date is set for 2034.
