SciCafe:When Black Holes Collide

Are you a science geek or maybe just curious about the universe? Hang out at the American Museum of Natural History and get to know all there is about science with Sci-Cafe. This is a monthly event showcasing a variety of scientists and their research and creativity. 
Dark against the dark sky and practically impossible to detect, black holes continue to puzzle scientists. When they collide, though, these phenomena offer clues about their nature in the form of gravitational waves. Earth-based detectors aim to record the “songs” of these waves, turning up the volume on the soundtrack of the universe. Barnard College professor and astronomer Janna Levin shares her research on the first recordings of a gravitational wave from the collision of two black holes 1.3 billion years ago.
