An astronomically cataclysmic Neutron star collision sounds so 'cute'

[Gyro]

The sound of two Neutron Stars, each 30km across but with the mass of a Sun, spiralling into each other at an incredible rotation rate and then colliding.

The video is, of course, animated but the sound track is the actual gravity waves recorded for the first time by LIGO.

Considering the totally unimaginable forces and energy involved, it's amazing that it just ends in an almost comic 'pop'!

Well, congrats for Rainer Weiss and others for the Nobel.
Funny enough days after receiving it, there was the 5th event at LIGO (this one), and it was also detected by practically everyone else. OK, it doesn't sound impressive enough, this one is totally overshadowing the one which resulted the Nobel price.
Now we know the Hubble constant, know a lot more about the dark energy/matter, and who knows what else. It is a quantum leap in cosmology (pardon for the pun).
