An agreement to share data could turn the world's gravitational-wave observatories into one big instrument. It would allow researchers working with the Virgo detector near Pisa, Italy, and their counterparts with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the United States to share data and jointly publish all results, says Benoit Mours, Virgo spokesperson and a physicist at the Annecy-le-Vieux Particle Physics Laboratory in France. LIGO has already joined forces with GEO 600, a smaller gravitational-wave detector near Hannover, Germany. The new deal must still be approved by the Italian and French agencies that fund Virgo, but Mours says he's confident that will happen.
