GTV2Go Gravitational Waves Detected II
Scientists in Gingin in WA play a major role in detecting Einstein's gravitational waves.
Scientists working near a small town north of Perth played a major role in the detection of Albert Einstein's gravitational waves, identifying and fixing an instability in the massive US detectors.
Ten years ago, physicists at the Australian International Gravitational Research Centre near Gingin predicted the observatories in Louisiana and Washington State would run into problems.
The centre's director, University of Western Australia Professor David Blair, who has been researching gravitational waves since 1972, said they realised the detectors would start 'whistling' if they were not slightly redesigned.

OSIRIS REx Earth Gravitational Assist Flyby - Perth&Sky vlog#8
DESCRIPTION:
***LANGUAGE WARNING***
Language Warning between 0:04 to 0:45 - Even though the words are bleeped out - skip forward to avoid being offended by colourful language (especially if you can read lips!)
Tasked with tracking Osiris Rex’s flyby, GDC Astronomers Rick and Mike have to battle badly behaved weather to catch a glimpse of the NASA spacecraft on its journey toward Asteroid Bennu.
Frustration mounts as the skies cloud over and the resulting language ain’t pretty!
