Astronomers from Swinburne University of Technology have led an international effort to produce the most detailed maps of gravitational waves in the universe. This research has also resulted in the creation of the largest galactic-scale gravitational wave detector and uncovered further evidence of a "background" of gravitational waves. These subtle ripples in spacetime offer insights into some o
