A new perspective on the universe with gravitational waves

Title
Localizations of the various gravitational-wave detections in the sky. The triple detections are labelled as HLV, from the initials of the three interferometers (LIGO-Hanford, LIGO-Livingston and Virgo) that observed the signals.

In 2015, a new window was opened to observe the universe: the first signal of gravitational waves was detected on Earth. What are gravitational waves?
What does its detection imply in our knowledge of the universe? In this talk we will see what we know so far and what the future holds for this new astronomy.
