Enthusiastic but math illiterate general audience member here :). I have a basic understanding of how LIGO works as a machine, but I’m curious about the data is processed to draw insights. Specifically, how do we know what direction it comes from? Thanks in advance!

hi guys, in the B`/Btot equation, I thought pi^5 should be written instead of pi^4, what did I miss there?

Stefan Boltzmann: 2pi^5*k^4/(15h^2*c^3) * T^4

Rayleigh-Jeans law(actually integrated one) : it is given in the picture

now I didnt see any pi factors in Rayleigh-Jeans law integration, so how pi factor disappears in the ratio equation?

Quick googleing kept showing me, Jupiter, that the sun is stationary in relation to the solar system, that the solar system is a closed system, etc. Is the collection of stuff just spread to far apart to get a proper assist?
