Although the events took place a long time ago, gravitational waves from these events have only just reached Earth. "Many pairs of neutron stars have been found, but never a neutron star orbiting a black hole." LIT Engineering Masters student Victor Oloworaran The scientists detected them through the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the US, and the Virgo gravitational-wave observatory in Italy. The SPIIR (Summed Parallel Infinite Impulse Response) pipeline, developed by scientists at LIT, is one of five data analysis pipelines in the world that can analyse data from LIGO and Virgo in real-time and alert the pub
