A cosmic event occurred at 130 million light-years away (or 130 million years ago) where two neutron stars (much denser than the Sun, 40 percent bigger than the Earth, roughly twice the mass of the sun and 9000% smaller than Sun; formed after a supernova) spun closer to each other (~12 km apart) sending a travelling ripple through space-time continuum perceived as a gravitational wave disturbance at a subatomic scale on August 17 2017 (time delay due to consequences of General relativity and light years distance) by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory). About less than 2 seconds later, NASA Fermi telescope identified a burst of gamma radiation due the collision close to the speed of light of the two neutron stars (Kilonova). This collision emanated ultraviolet, optical and infrared emissions and atomic debris including heavier elements typically of atomic number greater than 41 including gold, uranium, platinum, plutonium and so on (the addition of neutrons  to lighter atomic nuclei as neutron rich bodies collides). With help of VIRGO, the event was localized (GW170817) and analyzed and converted to audio with frequencies greater than 30Hz (last signal on the audio profile).

So why do we care
- Affirmation of Albert Einstein’s theory of General Relativity of 1915.
- First observation of gravitational wave by neutron stars and subsequent gamma radiation.
- First observation of electromagnetic wave astronomy.
- First localization of the source of neutron-neutron star and gamma radiation.
- Affirmation of elemental cosmic alchemy.
- And most of all, since light energy can easily be diffracted, or attenuated but gravitational waves are relatively less affected by energy or environmental field distortions therefore it could be harnessed to expand and understand Big Bang theory, mapping out the cosmos and other cosmological anomalies.
