The announcement that a third collision of black holes has been detected three billion light years away validates the work of hundreds of scientists, including Joey Shapiro Key, assistant professor of physics at the ÌÇÐÄvlogÊÓƵ. The discovery was made using a detector located at Hanford in eastern Washington.
