Dancing Black Holes
The era of gravitational wave astronomy began with a bang on September 14, 2015, with the discovery of a massive binary black hole merger by the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Learn more about recent groundbreaking discoveries and the prospects for future gravity wave detections.
Join us on The Wilderness Center’s You Tube channel for Astronomy Day on May 15 to learn more about black hole science and the research being conducted. More information is available on the TWC web page and Facebook.

Motherhood is tough - especially for certain spider species. For the first few weeks of their lives, the mother spider regurgitates food and protects her babies. Then, the babies kill her and eat her – leaving only an exoskeleton – getting one last meal before they leave the nest. This practice is called matriphagy.
Don't forget to send some Mother's Day love to all the moms in your life!
As part of our Community Conservation Program, TWC has recently launched a series of videos on our YouTube channel aimed at sharing practical conservation skills with our community. In this video, Gary discusses how to manage invasive shrub species.
