High-frequency gravitational waves passing through magnetic fields become radio signals — and ordinary radio telescopes can hear them.

Invisible ripples of space, as they travel through magnetic fields, transform into radio waves and 'ring' inside radio telescopes. This allows us to hear the merger of tiny black holes born after the Big Bang. Ordinary antennas become gravitational detectors, unlocking the hidden universe.

🎯 The CHIME radio telescope, originally built to search for mysterious fast radio bursts, accidentally turned out to be an ideal gravitational wave detector.
