NASA scientists show how gravitational waves can reveal new worlds. The LISA observatory will detect gravitational waves caused by orbiting masses, potentially revealing exoplanets throughout the galaxy. LISA could reveal a new population of exoplanets by detecting modifications to gravitational wave signals from tightly orbiting white dwarfs.
