Moon's orbit proposed as a gravitational wave detector

Posted: 17 Mar 2022 06:47 AM PDT

Researchers propose using the variations in distance between the Earth and the Moon, which can be measured with a precision of less than a centimeter, as a new gravitational wave detector within a frequency range that current devices cannot detect. The research could pave the way for the detection of signals from the early universe.
