Gravitational waves change the distances between nearby freely-falling test masses. The patterns of deformations are not always easy to visualize, because they're usually written in terms of special functions few people know. Here's a #visualization of the GW strain if we had a binary orbiting at the middle of the sphere, in the x-y plane.
Hey #julialang friends 👋
We have emojis, we have Julia REPL stanning, hopefully we will have our friends here too
