KAGRA

KAGRA (Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector) is a large-scale scientific facility in Japan designed to detect gravitational waves, which are ripples in spacetime caused by massive cosmic events like merging black holes or neutron stars. It uses sensitive lasers and long tunnels to measure tiny distortions in space caused by these waves. KAGRA is notable for its underground location, which helps reduce noise from environmental vibrations, improving its ability to observe faint gravitational signals. It contributes to our understanding of the universe, enhancing our knowledge of fundamental physics and cosmic phenomena.
