We're doing real science now: currently analyzing 600 hours of the most sensitive gravitational wave data ever taken. Since we are going to go public very soon, we thought it made sense to put the final version of the calibrated data into place first.

For the non-German speaking:
This is a TV stream (with some bad video-audio offset) grabbed from
the German digital channel "BR Alpha", 14 minutes long, with the subject
of anti-gravity. Listening to it now...

Rather unrelated. The waves we are looking for are not electromagnetic and thus can't be caught with radio telescopes. There are probably, however, pulsars and other sources that emit both types of waves.
