I love astronomy and astrophysics. It's really fascinating to me and people have asked me questions about science stuff so I decided to make a thread full of links for people to see and talk about. Plus, visual digital art for astronomy is really cool art. Equations aside (because, let's face it, math will make your head hurt) the stuff is awesome. The scientific community over the years has become really forgiving and humbling to the general public so that people can better understand what they're doing.
We'll start with the LIGO detection of gravitational waves with a short video giving you the gist of it. There's a slightly longer video that I will post beneath it explaining how LIGO detected the gravitational waves from the merging black holes.
(oh, and holy crap that's a lot of power...)
