The observation of tiny deviations in the arrival times of radio pulses from neutron stars could be our first glimpse at gravitational waves from merging supermassive black holes according to astronomers working on the NANOGrav pulsar timing array. The team has scoured 12.5 years of data from two radio telescopes for evidence of gravitational waves created by the…
