You're watching two massive objects — black holes or neutron stars — spiraling into each other and merging. The rippling grid is spacetime itself, bending under their gravity. The sound is the gravitational wave signal, shifted into the range of human hearing.

An interactive gravitational wave visualizer. Explore real events detected by LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA — watch black holes merge, hear the chirp, and navigate the cosmic map of collisions.
Star on GitHubReal LIGO/Virgo data is full of non-astrophysical transients — "glitches" — that look like signals but aren't. Train your eye on five of the most common shapes, then contribute to the real classification effort on Zooniverse.
GWitchHunters is run by EGO and the REINFORCE collaboration on the Zooniverse citizen-science platform. Every classification helps the search for gravitational waves.
Lesson plans and student worksheets tied to the guided tours. Each pack covers a set of real LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA events — download the printable PDF or the editable markdown source.
Run a locked, distraction-free presentation. The sidebar, menus, and settings are hidden, and a presenter bar steps through a fixed event sequence — students cannot reach settings or switch scenes.
Start classroom modeRun WarpLab unattended on an exhibition screen. All menus are hidden and an attract loop auto-cycles through scenes and landmark events; visitor input pauses it, and a long idle resets everything for the next person.
