Waiting For Gravity Gravitional Waves Could Give Astronomers An Unprecidedted View Into Acts of Astronomical Violence by Trudy E. Bell

I am reading Trudy E. Bell's article, Waiting For Gravity Gravitional Waves Could Give Astronomers An Unprecedented View Into Acts of Astronomical Violence, in the July 2006 issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine.
It is interesting that the equipment, at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, described in this article may detect gravitational waves, for example from an exploding star.
