Scientists have glimpsed at another ripple in the medium of space-time.
科学家第二次探测到引力波。
Announced by the LIGO team, the latest gravitational wave observation took place in late December last year.
LIGO（激光干涉仪引力波天文台）合作组宣布，最近一次探测到引力波是去年年末。
Astronomer Scott Ransom even exclaimed that the era of gravitational wave astronomy is upon us!
宇航员斯科特·雷森甚至惊讶道，引力波天文学时代寄托在我们身上！
Though Ransom is not a member of the team,
尽管雷森不是合作组成员，
a spokesperson with LIGO added that the observation is beginning to reveal a spectrum of black hole systems.
但LIGO发言人指出，此次探测将揭开黑洞面纱。
The latest system observed by LIGO focused on a pair black holes with a solar masses eight to fourteen times greater than the sun.
LIGO此次的观察重点是双黑洞，质量分别是太阳的8-14倍。
When they merged, one solar mass converted to energy and generated these subtle though measurable ripples.
一旦双黑合并，太阳质量将转换为能量，随之释放引力波。
