LIGO's 10th anniversary marks a decade of gravitational wave detection, with scientists planning more advanced successors. Since its first detection of black hole mergers in 2015, LIGO and its global partners have significantly improved sensitivity, routinely observing these cosmic events. Future observatories like Cosmic Explorer aim to detect gravitational waves from across the observable universe, with upgrades to LIGO also planned.
