NASA unveiled telescope prototypes that will be part of a mission to study a cosmic phenomenon that could solves the universe's greatest mysteries.

NASA has revealed a full-scale prototype of the telescope that will be used in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, a collaborative effort between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) aimed at detecting gravitational waves from space.

LISA mission will be the “first gravitational wave detector in space” and will “explore the fundamental nature of gravity and black holes”. How will LISA detect ripples in spacetime? Why to study Gravitational Waves?

NASA has revealed the first look at a full-scale prototype for six telescopes that will enable, in the next decade, the space-based detection of gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by merging black holes and other cosmic sources.
