Gravitational wave observatories are scientific facilities designed to detect and analyze gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime caused by accelerating massive objects, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. These observatories use highly sensitive technology to measure minute changes in distance, which occur when gravitational waves pass through the Earth.
