It is now almost a decade since the LIGO observatory first detected gravitational waves from the collision of two black holes. Since then, the LIGO and Virgo instruments have detected hundreds of additional signals, include the spectacular binary neutron star merger GW170817, and several mixed black hole – neutron star binaries. These discoveries have lead to new insights into stellar evolution, constraints on the nuclear equation of state, and precision tests of general relativity in the strong field regime. Last year, multiple pulsar timing teams from around the world presented evidence for a very low frequency gravitational wave stochastic background. In this talk I will described highlights from the first decade of gravitational wave astronomy, and look forward to what we hope to explore in the next decade and beyond, including the prospects for the space based Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, scheduled for launch in the 2030’s.
