Interferometer Device Sees Text from a Mile Away
Building an Interferometer with LEGO.
LEGO! It’s a fun toy that is popular around the world. What you may not realize is that it’s also made to incredibly high standards. As it turns out, the humble building blocks are good enough to build a interferometer if you’re so inclined to want one. Kyra Cole shows us how it’s done.

Quite happy of my very first #animation---illustrating the principle of the #Michelson #interferometer for gravitational wave detection---made with #Inkscape and the super handy extension inkscape-animation (https://github.com/anonymou8/inkscape-animation) which nicely turns the sketch layers (or its objects by order of depth) into a gif or an mp4 video.

Anyone got a desktop #interferometer I can borrow? Need to measure the height of the tide in a cup of #tea. #science #NauticalShenanigans

#LIGO goes to space: #ESA to proceed with LISA #gravitationalwave detector
ESA approved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, or LISA. The #interferometer would follow the same basic principles as the ground-based LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) experiment that first detected gravitational waves, the hardware would be placed 2.5 million kilometers apart, making it sensitive to an entirely new range of astronomical phenomena.
