Abstract
GW150914 from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration marks a turning point in the history of astronomy. It comes 417 years after Galileo aimed his telescope at the sky in Pisa, Italy, and'saw'the'seas' and highlands of our Moon and also those of Jupiter. This was the birth of modern astronomy (concurrent with the birth of modern science). The new era of gravitational wave astronomy that begins with the LIGO detection will enable us to see the universe, literally, in a new light.
