The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) is a group of scientists who work together to operate and analyze data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), which is designed to detect gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the universe, such as merging black holes and neutron stars.
