Jāņi is a Latvian festival that celebrates the summer solstice. It usually falls on the 21st or 22nd of June, but the public holidays are on the 23rd and 24th. The day before Jāņi is called Līgo, Līgosvētki or Līgovakars. So get ready to party!
- LIGO is an acronym for Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, a large-scale physics experiment designed to detect gravitational waves.
- LIGO is not related to Latvia in any way; it is an American project funded by the National Science Foundation and operated by Caltech and MIT.
- The two main sites of the LIGO experiment are located in Livingston, Louisiana and Hanford, Washington in the United States.
- The goal of the LIGO experiment is to detect ripples in space-time caused by massive astronomical events such as black hole mergers or supernovae explosions.
