The Albany Civic Center was designed to be an arena and a convention center. As a result, the arena features 46,000 square feet (4,300 m 2 ) of exhibit space, plus an additional 6,000 square feet (600 m 2 ) of meeting room space.
17 August 2017: Gravitational wave detected from merger of two neutron stars (00:23 video; artist concept). On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo interferometers observed GW170817, [7] a gravitational wave associated with the merger of a binary neutron star (BNS) system in NGC 4993, an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Hydra about 140 million light years away.

Simulated collision of two neutron stars. A stellar collision is the coming together of two stars [1] caused by stellar dynamics within a star cluster, or by the orbital decay of a binary star due to stellar mass loss or gravitational radiation, or by other mechanisms not yet well understood.
Albany 30, Morgan State 27 Due to growing popularity and national recognition of lacrosse, the first-ever Albany Great Danes men's lacrosse game was held at Bob Ford Field on April 18, 2015. It was the first time since March 10, 2007 that a top-10 matchup was held in the Capital District, with #4 UAlbany defeating #10 Delaware 13–7.
The origin and properties (masses and spins) of a double neutron star system like GW170817 are the result of a long sequence of complex binary star interactions. [41] The gravitational wave signal indicated that it was produced by the collision of two neutron stars [9] [18] [20] [42] with a total mass of 2.82 +0.47 −0.09 solar masses (M ☉). [2]
The Albany Municipal Auditorium is a multi-purpose auditorium located in downtown Albany, Georgia, U.S.The 965-seat, classic style auditorium includes an orchestra level, as well as first and second balconies and it was listed as "Municipal Auditorium" on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior in 1975.
An eclipsing binary star is a binary star system in which the orbital plane of the two stars lies so nearly in the line of sight of the observer that the components undergo mutual eclipses. [20] In the case where the binary is also a spectroscopic binary and the parallax of the system is known, the binary is quite valuable for stellar analysis.
MVP Arena (originally Knickerbocker Arena, and then the Pepsi Arena and Times Union Center) is an indoor arena located in Albany, New York. It is configurable and can accommodate from 6,000 to 17,500 people, [ 1 ] with a maximum seating capacity of 15,500 for sporting events.
