Stay calm, everybody stay calm.
Its only recently that humanity has been able to detect gravitational waves.
The new project LISA is set to take this science to a whole new level.

LISA will consist of three spacecraft, orbiting the Sun in an exquisitely accurate equilateral triangle formation.
To expand the frontier of gravitational studies we must go to space, Lutzgendorf said.
Work on the observatory will begin in January 2025.
ESA will detect gravitational waves of different wavelengths than ground-based instruments or pulsar timing arrays.Graphic:ESA
