• Resumen

  • The article reports on the preparation by physicists to turn back on a third gravitational-wave detector, called Virgo, near the Italian city of Pisa in spring 2017. Topics covered include how the detector is designed to determine the source of the gravitational waves, the hope by scientists that the operation of three such detectors could significantly improve efforts to determine the sources of the waves, and how the detectors will help shape the future of astrophysics.
