It took thirty-three radio telescopes spread across five continents to measure the dimensions of the astrophysical source GW170817, detected in both gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. The result was obtained by researchers from INAF National Institute for Astrophysics, INFN, University of Milano-Bicocca, GSSI Gran Sasso Science Institute and ASI Italian Space Agency, and published on Science.
