Gravitational-wave telescopes are instruments designed to detect and analyze gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime caused by some of the universe's most violent and energetic processes, such as merging black holes, neutron star collisions, and the collapse of massive stars. Unlike traditional telescopes that observe electromagnetic radiation (like light, radio waves, or X-rays), gravitational-wave telescopes capture the distortions in spacetime caused by these astronomical events.
