In addition to managing JPL, Caltech also operates the Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, the Owens Valley Radio Observatory in Bishop, California, the Submillimeter Observatory and W. M. Keck Observatory at the Mauna Kea Observatory, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory at Livingston, Louisiana and Richland, Washington, and Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory in Corona del Mar, California.

General relativity also predicts the existence of gravitational waves, which have since been observed indirectly ; a direct measurement is the aim of projects such as LIGO and NASA / ESA Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and various pulsar timing arrays.

* 5. 0 Gm — ( proposed ) Size of the arms of the giant triangle shaped Michelson interferometer of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna ( LISA ) planned to start observations in or around 2015.

These “ signatures ” are of great relevance to LIGO ( Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory ), a multi-institution gravity-wave experiment for which Thorne has been a leading proponent — in 1984, he cofounded the LIGO Project ( the largest project ever funded by the NSF ) to discern and measure any fluctuations between two or more ' static ' points ; such fluctuations would be evidence of gravitational waves, as calculations describe.

The earthbound Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory ( LIGO ) and especially the space-based gravitational wave detector Laser Interferometer Space Antenna ( LISA ) will search for gravitational waves and are likely to be sensitive enough to detect signals from cosmic strings, provided the relevant cosmic string tensions are not too small.

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna ( LISA ) is a proposed space mission concept designed to detect and accurately measure gravitational waves from astronomical sources.

Ground-based detectors like the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory ( LIGO ) seek to detect high-frequency gravitational waves from stellar-sized systems, such as spinning neutron stars, supernovae, and the final minutes of the gravitationally-driven inspiral of neutron stars and black holes.

As the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and future observatories of its kind will search for direct evidence of gravitational waves, this phenomenon would be included as well in such searches.

The aim of the LISA Pathfinder is to test technologies needed for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, a joint NASA / ESA gravitational wave detector.

The film's title is a play on the 1977 Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me and contains plot elements from James Bond films, Diamonds Are Forever ( Laser Gun Plot and Cloning ), You Only Live Twice ( Secret Volcano Base ), Moonraker ( Outer Space Ventures ), The Man with the Golden Gun ( Mini Me based on character Nick Nack ) and On Her Majesty's Secret Service ( opening sequence in which Vanessa Kensington dies ).

American Laser Games and Cinematronics produced elaborate arcade consoles that used the random-access features to create interactive movies such as Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.

" In " Smith and Jones ", Martha Jones asked if the Doctor also had a " Laser Spanner ", to which he replied that he had, until it was stolen by Emmeline Pankhurst.

The LA-based post house Laser Edit ( which later merged with Pacific Video as Laser-Pacific ) also had an in-house system using recordable random-access laserdiscs.

Each exit was marked with a letter, which they would memorize on their way to the next part of the race, the Laser Matrix, preceded by a computer where each player had to log in by hitting the letter key matching their exit.

Heat 1 contestant Simon Evans was disqualified as he had not completely worked out all four words at the Laser Matrix computer yet proceeding through the rest of the round regardless ( he was told of his disqualification at the top of the Krypton Mountain ) and in Heat 2 the following week, contestant Alison Riley was disqualified as she had forcibly pulled out batons from the Response Revolve when the corresponding lights weren't flashing and unlike Evans, she was edited out of the remainder of the round after she had begun her ascent on the ladder and a replay was shown of her illegal move.

Each Windsurfer had an identical computer-cut sail, a technology new at that time and pioneered by Ian Bruce and the Laser class.

Samcor, which assembled Ford models under license after Ford had divested from the country, was already assembling the smaller Laser and Meteor, alongside the Mazda 323, on which they were based, as well as an earlier version of the Mazda 626.

The time-compressed CLV re-issue of Jaws no longer had the original soundtrack, having had incidental background music replaced for the video disc version due to licensing cost ( the music would not be available until the THX Laser Disc box set was released in 1995 ).

Laser discs potentially had a much longer lifespan than videocassettes.

The Laser was already sold in Zimbabwe, where the previous generation model had been introduced in 1981.

Replacing the Laser's amber indicators were white ones, and the grille had more of an " egg-crate " pattern than the plain black slats of the Laser.

The Meteor also had larger headlights than the Laser, which had smaller ones " sunken " into the bodyshell.

However, from 1985, the Laser hatchbacks all had unique panels.

The abjuration often shrouds the Nova Cats ' previous fame as excellent marksmen ( they often competed with the Goliath Scorpions to see what Clan had the best sharpshooters ), and as the developers of the Extended-Range Laser technology used by all Clans.

In the corresponding month's What if issue, " The Living Laser " had a cameo appearance as a streak of light.

The first commercially sold Laser sailboat had sail number 100: earlier boats were considered " prototypes ".

The ship had a semi-automatic Laser weapon that, when held down, would charge up and unleash a stronger laser blast.

The Great Storm of 1987 destroyed its tower and the embargo against Laser 558 created more difficulties for Radio Caroline which had limped back on the air with a new antenna.

The Mazda 323 and 626, were assembled alongside the almost identical Ford Laser and Telstar until well into the 1990s, in contrast to Australia, where Mazdas were not assembled locally, and Ford had switched to importing those models from Japan.

From 2007, the financial institutions which had issued Laser Cards began to replace them with Visa or Mastercard Debit Cards.
