From the abstract: “Since the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015, we have opened an entirely new observation window into the Universe (complementary to the electromagnetic spectrum, neutrinos, and cosmic rays), heralding the era of multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. A wealth of scientific insights has already been gained – but so much more is yet to be discovered!”
