BBC : In the wake of the first detection of a gravitational wave last year by the ground-based LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), the European Space Agency (ESA) has been granted permission to proceed with its €1 billion proposal to build a space-based observatory to seek the elusive signals. The project was given the green light by a panel of experts who had assessed it. In their report, they even suggested accelerating the project so that it could launch as soon as 2029 instead of the proposed 2034.
