A detector is planned for the Moon to capture gravitational waves from invisible giant black holes. The quiet of our satellite will allow a peek into the era when the Universe was just 200 million years old.

🎯 Lunar dust is sharp as glass and scratches mirrors, so engineers designed protective electrostatic shields and even mini cleaning robots.

🎬 Sci-fi authors like Arthur C. Clarke long sent observatories to the Moon. LILA fulfills that dream, but captures not light, but the trembling of space itself.
