On September 14, 2015, LIGO detectors picked up a gravitational wave signal coming from the merger of a binary black hole. This is the first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of binary black hole and its merger. In this talk we will go over the key aspects of the discovery, and highlight some its implications for fundamental physics and astrophysics.
