I am a radio astronomer searching for compact binaries in globular clusters to test general relativity. We found the first evidence of nano-hertz gravitational waves using pulsar timing arrays.

Astronomers are closing in on a radically new kind of cosmic map--a map that shows the universe in gravitational waves.

The process is hard. This new, preliminary version is uncertain. But we're seeing a fresh view of reality come into focus. 🔭🧪

MeerKAT, a precursor to SKA, has detected n-Hz Gravitational Wave Background with similar significance to other PTAs but using just 5 years of data! The SKA era will be 🔥❤️‍🔥 #MeerKAT #SKA #GravitationalWaves #PulsarTiming #Astronomy #PTA #MPIfR

Twas the night before Christmas at the Max-Planck Institute, and all through the cosmos, something intriguing was afoot. Santa was busy preparing his sleigh when he noticed unusual gravitational waves rippling through the fabric of spacetime.
