LISA

 

 

WebpageLISA - first observatory in space to explore the Gravitational Universe.


Overview

LISA (Laser Interferometer space antenna) will be a large-scale space mission designed to detect one of the most elusive phenomena in astronomy, gravitational waves. With LISA we will be able to observe the entire universe directly with gravitational waves, learning about the formation of structure and galaxies, stellar evolution, the early universe, and the structure and nature of spacetime itself.
