Today I work on the LIGO project that our whole class has been doing. I found an earthquake that was not too far away and began my anylsis of the earthquake. Using data from NCEDC I found a quake, then using Google Earth I found the distance from the earthquake to the LIGO station in Hanford. Using this distance I could estimate the time that it would take LIGO to observe the earthquake. So using the Bluestone tool I looked at the estimated time that I thought the earthquake would arrive. Once I found a large spike in the data around the time I estimated the earthquake would arrive, the quake was confirmed to arrive and be observed by LIGO.
