The gravitational waves were detected directly for the first time onSeptember 14, 2015 by two LIGO detectors at Livingston, Louisiana and Hanford,Washington, USA. Careful analysis revealed that this signal was produced by thelast moment of inspiral and merger of two black holes that have been orbitingeach other. Since the first detection, several other gravitational wavesources, including one neutron star merger event in August 201,7 have beenobserved by the LIGO together with Virgo. This article provides a very briefoverview of the history toward the understanding the nature of gravitationalwaves, detectors, types of sources and achievements of the gravitational wavedetectors. We then discuss astrophysical implications of the recent detectionsof black hole and neutron star binaries and provide short term and long termprospects of gravitational wave astronomy.
