1 APR esinye isigaba sexesha elide sophando esijolise ekuchongeni nasekufundeni amaza omxhuzulane. Kwaye ngoku, kwinyanga kamva, ukuqwalaselwa kokuqala okuyimpumelelo kweli nqanaba lomsebenzi kwabhengezwa.
I-LIGO (I-Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) kunye ne-Virgo observatories zisetyenziselwa ukukhangela amaza omxhuzulane. Eyokuqala idibanisa izakhiwo ezimbini, ezifumaneka eUnited States eLivingston (Louisiana) kunye neHanford (Washington State). Emva koko, i-Virgo detector ifumaneka kwi-European Gravitational Observatory (EGO).
Ngoko ke, kuxelwa ukuba ekupheleni kuka-Epreli kwakunokwenzeka ukubhalisa izibonakaliso ezimbini ze-gravitation kanye. Eyokuqala yarekhodwa ngoAprili 25. Umthombo wayo, ngokweenkcukacha zokuqala, yayiyintlekele ye-cosmic - ukudityaniswa kweenkwenkwezi ezimbini ze-neutron. Ubuninzi bezinto ezinjalo bufaniswa nobunzima beLanga, kodwa i-radius yi-10-20 yeekhilomitha kuphela. Umthombo womqondiso wawumi kumgama omalunga nezigidi ezingama-500 zokukhanya kweminyaka ukusuka kuthi.
Isiganeko sesibini sarekhodwa nge-26 ka-Epreli. Iingcali zenzululwazi zikholelwa ukuba ngeli xesha amaza axhuzulayo azalwa ngenxa yokungqubana kweenkwenkwezi ze-neutron kunye nomngxuma omnyama kumgama we-1,2 billion light years ukusuka eMhlabeni.
Qaphela ukuba ukufunyaniswa kokuqala kwamaza obunzima kwabhengezwa ngoFebruwari 11, 2016 - umthombo wabo wawukudityaniswa kwemingxuma emibini emnyama. Kwaye ngo-2017, izazinzulu zaqala ukubona amaza omxhuzulane ukusuka ekudityanisweni kweenkwenkwezi ezimbini ze-neutron.
