 Cosmic Explorer (gravitational wave observatory)

Cosmic Explorer is a proposed next-generation gravitational wave observatory. It aims to significantly expand our ability to detect and study gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime caused by massive astronomical events, such as the merger of black holes or neutron stars. The observatory is designed to build on the capabilities of current detectors like LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) and Virgo, enhancing their sensitivity and broadening the range of detectable events.
