On 11 February 2016 the National Science Foundation and the leaders of collaboration LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) announced the first direct detection of gravitational signal. The signal was discovered dubbed GW150914 by date of September 14, 2015, it fits well with the waveform predicted by general relativity for the merger of two black holes. Although this discovery is yet con fi rmed through independent experiments (VIRGO or Kagra), the fact that the same signal has been discovered in the two LIGO detectors (which are separate 3,002 Km.) Almost simultaneously leaves very little doubt astrophysical origin of the detected signal. Detection of GW150914 is extremely important not only to provide a verified direct cation of the existence of gravitational waves, but also because it opens a new window in astronomy and offers the possibility to explore (or "hear") the universe completely new methods . The fact that the GW150914 signal fit the shape of calculated for the merger of two black holes wave, provides the first observation of a binary black hole system, where the two black holes, after turning around each other, merge and They form a single black hole. The fact that the signal matches the predictions of general relativity, implies strong evidence for validity in the regime where the gravitational interactions are strong and dynamic. Future observations with LIGO, VIRGO and Kagra should lead to further strong evidence of general relativity and the structure of black holes and binary black hole systems or neutron stars.
