DESCRIPTION:Following the recent announcement of the first detection of gr
 avitational waves I will review the main results of the discovery with a f
 ocus on the analysis that leads to the estimates of the binary black hole 
 parameters (including the black hole masses and spins). I will also discus
 s some of the implications of this discovery for astrophysics more general
 ly.\n\nUseful references:\n* "Detection paper"\, "arXiv:1602.03837":http:/
