The title of the article "10 years of Gravitational Wave Astronomy". The text is written on a purple background. Behind the text are two gravitational-wave signals, GW150914 and GW231123. The signals are displayed as timeseries data - which is like a wiggle increasing in amplitude from left to right, before reducing.

Salud, buen domingo y feliz 10 aniversario LIGO! 
Hace exactamente 10 años, a las 9:50 UTC del 14 de septiembre de 2015, una onda gravitacional llegaba a la Tierra, sacudiendo los detectores de LIGO en Livingston y Hanford, por primera vez en la historia.

10 years ago, the first gravitational wave #GW150914 was detected by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration. This was a significant step to confirm LISA as a flagship mission, and we as a community are profoundly grateful for the decades of research effort that made the discovery reality.

Advanced LIGO detects gravitational waves! The first observing run (O1) of Advanced LIGO was scheduled to start 9 am GMT (10 am BST), 14 September 2015. Both gravitational-wave detectors were running fine, but there were few a extra things …

Looking back at my excited blog post describing the first detection of #GW150914

I can still feel the warm glow of seeing the results for the first time

Happy 10th Birthday #GW150914! 🥳

This was the first direct detection of gravitational waves, and since then, we've detected signals from 100s of collisions between black holes and neutron stars! I'm excited to see where the next 10 years will take us 🤩
