DESCRIPTION:This is a 90-minute livestream event&nbsp\;running from 1630-18
 00 UTC (some local times are included&nbsp\;<a href="https://www.gwamilesto
 ne.com/when">here</a>) which honors&nbsp\;the uniquely sophisticated device
 s that confirmed&nbsp\;<a href="https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/02/gra
 vitational-waves-einstein-s-ripples-spacetime-spotted-first-time">Einstein'
 s prediction of 104 years ago</a>.<br><br>This informational and entertaini
 ng program is intended for a wide audience.<br><br>It will include the dedi
 cation of an IEEE Milestone in 3 locations: <a href="https://www.ligo.calte
 ch.edu/WA">Hanford\, Washington USA</a>\, <a href="https://www.ligo.caltech
 .edu/LA">Livingston\, Louisiana USA</a>\, and <a href="https://www.ego-gw.i
 t/">Cascina (Pisa)\, Tuscany ITALY</a>.&nbsp\; These are the sites of the t
 wo LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatories) antennas in
  the US\, and the Virgo antenna at EGO (European Gravitational Observatory)
  in Italy.<br><br>You will learn about what led to construction of these an
 tennas\, whose kilometer-scale arms can detect the tremendous gravity resul
 tant from the merger of black holes and binary neutron stars that are up to
  3 billion light-years away.<br><br>Caltech's Rich Abbott will lead a discu
 ssion with Drs. Rainer Weiss\, Kip S. Thorne and Barry C. Barish\, who join
 tly were awarded the <a href="https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/201
 7/summary/">2017 Nobel Prize in Physics</a> "for decisive contributions to 
 the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves."<br><br>The p
 arallel development of the European&nbsp\;Virgo antenna will be addressed b
 y key Virgo antenna contributors Kathy Nary Man&nbsp\;and Jean-Yves Vinet.&
 nbsp\; Current Asian developments will be described by&nbsp\;Takaaki Kajita
 \, principal investigator of Japan's KAGRA antenna\, who shared the <a href
 ="https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2015/summary/">2015 Nobel Prize
  in Physics</a> "for the discovery of neutrino oscillations\, which shows t
 hat neutrinos have mass."<br><br>Other contributors from the US\, Italy and
  France\, along with government and agency dignitaries\, round out the prog
 ram\, which will conclude with the unveiling of bronze IEEE Milestone plaqu
 es at each of the 3 sites.<br><br>A wealth of information is at&nbsp\;<a hr
