A globe-spanning group of physicists used pulsars to measure the waves, which they believe emanated from pairs of supermassive black holes.
Scientists reported Wednesday that they were able to "hear" what are called low-frequency gravitational waves in space.
(CNN) — Astronomers have been able to “hear” the celestial hum of powerful gravitational waves, created by collisions between black holes, echoing across the universe for the first time.
"We're starting to open up this new window on the universe," one astrophysicist said.
Scientists have observed for the first time the faint ripples caused by the motion of black holes that are gently stretching and squeezing everything in the universe
