The discovery by LIGO would open a new chapter in astronomy.

美国激光干涉引力波天文台的发现开启了天文学的新篇章。

The progress of LIGO project in United States is going well.

其中美国的LIGO项目进展引人瞩目。

We have finished the first complete analysis of the LIGO S3 data set.

我们已经完成了S3数据集的第一轮全面分析。

How are they produced and how are LIGO and other instruments preparing to detect them?

重力波是如何产生的？ LIGO及其他仪器准备怎样测量它们？

The screen saver will automatically download a tiny portion of the enormous data set that LIGO will collect.

这个屏保将会自动从LIGO收集到的海量数据中下载很小一部分。

This in turn would give LIGO scientists an extra clue as to where to search their data for a gravity wave signal.

这反过来给LIGO的科学家提供了一条在哪寻找引力波信号的新线索。

How will the detectors know if a ripple of gravity passes through the Earth? Per Caltech's official LIGO website?

观测器如何探测穿过地球的引力波涟漪呢？

But space is very large, and if LIGO scientists could pinpoint their search, they might detect those ripples sooner.

尽管宇宙很大，如果LIGO的科学家能精确定位他们在哪搜索，他们迟早会发现宇宙涟漪。

LIGO research is carried out by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC), a group of more than 1000 scientists from universities around the United States and in 14 other countries.

LIGO的研究工作由LIGO科学合作组织(LSC)完成，这一合作组织包含来自美国和其他14各国家的1000多名科学家。

Scientists believe that some pulsars may not be perfectly spherical, and if so, they should emit characteristic gravitational waves, which LIGO and GEO 600 will begin to detect in coming months.

科学家们相信有些脉冲星不是完美的球形，且如果是这样，它们应该发射出特定的引力波，LIGO和GEO 600将会在几个月后开始探测这些引力波。
