Space: Waves _top_

$$c = \lambda \nu$$

For most of astronomical history, "space waves" meant light. In the 20th century, we learned to see beyond visible light. Radio waves revealed the cold, neutral hydrogen gas between stars; X-rays unveiled the million-degree plasma swirling around black holes. space waves

: Often colloquially called "ripples in space-time," these are caused by massive cosmic events like black hole collisions. neutral hydrogen gas between stars

In physics, gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime caused by massive cosmic events, such as the collision of two black holes or neutron stars. These waves were predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
