Scientists may have detected hum of the universe for the first time
Some known noise sources could be ruled out to understand the sound but they needed more data to determine if it was indeed from gravitational waves. The sound was detected by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav). (Image for representation)
