DESCRIPTION:Following the first gravitational-wave detection of a binary b
 lack-hole merger more than five years ago\, we now consider such detection
 s routine and we are focusing on extracting astrophysical information from
  a rapidly growing number of sources\, including neutron star mergers. Our
  measurements of masses\, spins\, and luminosity distances combined provid
 e unique probes of the origins of binary compact objects\, while certain d
 iscoveries continue to surprise us with their unexpected physical properti
 es challenging our current understanding. In this talk I will summarize wh
 ere our understanding stands at present\, highlight some exceptional sourc
 es of interest\, and discuss what we can anticipate for the future.
