Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO)
- LIGO is a large-scale physics experiment and observatory to detect gravitational waves.
- A new gravitational wave detector to measure ripples in the fabric of space and time is set to be built in India by 2025
- World’s third LIGO detector.
- It will be built in collaboration with universities from across the globe
- It will significantly improve the ability of scientists to pinpoint the sources of gravitational waves and analyse the signals
- Other 2 LIGOs are in USA.
