NASA has revealed a full-scale prototype of the telescope that will be used in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, a collaborative effort between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) aimed at detecting gravitational waves from space. Gravitational waves, ripples in space-time caused by massive cosmic events such as black hole mergers, offer a new way to explore the universe. The LISA mission, set to launch in the mid-2030s, will be the first space-based observatory specifically designed to detect these waves, marking a major advancement in astrophysics. Engineering the F…
