Like many of you, we woke up this morning to confirmations that Gravitational Waves HAVE been detected. This is exciting news for a few reasons. The obvious reason is that this new data will only further our understanding of the universe. 

The second, and less obvious, reason is that the Gravitational-Waves Astronomers Platform, a part of LIGO, is a customer of ours. This LIGO group is using our Gateway Service for their researchers around the globe to login and access the research and LIVE events (detecting gravitational waves!). 

Having EASY project access is essential when these moments are both unpredictable and fleeting. We've got a detailed white paper that talks about this specific integration and a bit more about gravitational waves research. 

CONGRATS TO ALL THE GRAVITATIONAL WAVE ASTRONOMERS OUT THERE! WE ARE THRILLED TO BE A TINY PART OF THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION!
