Back at LIGO Hanford Observatory

By sballmerUncategorized

After 2 years of COVID travel restrictions I finally made it back to the LIGO Hanford Observatory. A lot has changed in 2 years. Syracuse University graduate students Elenna Capote and Varun Srivastava are also here and will assist with preparing the observatory for the O4 observation run.
