)
The researchers detected the collisions after re-analyzing the gravitational wave data obtained by the LIGO.
)
US-based LIGO and Europe-based VIRGO gravitational-wave detectors have recorded gravitational waves from a total of 10 black hole mergers and one merger of neutron stars.
)
A team of 1,314 scientists from around the world contributed to the detection of gravitational waves from a merging pair of binary neutron stars, followed by the detection of gamma-rays.
)
The mirrors and detectors required to build the system will be sent from the LIGO collaborators in the US.
)
Many observatories, including space telescopes, probed the suspected location of the source, and within about 12 hours several spotted their quarry.
)
The event caused by the neutron stars has been dubbed "GW170817" because it sent ripples through space-time that reached Earth on August 17.
)
Calculations show that certain types of dark matter could form giant clouds around astrophysical black holes.

Oscar Awards snubbed science epic Interstellar and its co-writer Thorne. Nobel committee knows better than that.
)
Nobel Prize 2017 in Physics declared.
)
The latest observation was made on August 14, 2017. It's the first gravitational wave signal recorded by the Virgo detector.
)
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in the US made the detection on January 4 this year, demonstrating that a new window in astronomy has been firmly opened.
)
Astronomers think this object is a very strong case. Weighing more than 1 billion suns, the rogue black hole is the most massive black hole ever detected to have been kicked out of its central home.
)
As India is getting ready to set up the world's third advanced LIGO observatory, Fred Raab, an official of the international collaboration, said he expected Indian scientists and researchers to play a crucial role in the LIGO research that seeks to give us a deeper understanding of the universe by tracking the gravitational waves.
)
Neutron stars are the densest observable objects in the universe, with a fistful of stellar material outweighing a mountain on Earth.
)
Using the twin, US-based Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, the second detection occurred on December 26 last year and is named as the "Boxing Day event" (after the holiday celebrated in Britain).
)
A team of international scientists have identified the merger of two black holes yet again.
)
The LISA Pathfinder mission was designed to demonstrate technology needed to build a space-based gravitational wave observatory.
)
The gravitational waves were detected on September 14, 2015, by both of the twin LIGO detectors, located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington.
)
This discovery gave way to numerous scientific possibilities that could further pave the way for scientists to step into new horizons to understand the working of the universe.
)
Modi’s meeting with the LIGO scientists in Washington DC, comes just two days after he met scientists from the Institute of Plasma Research in New Delhi, who are also working on the LIGO project.
