>>The Editorial, “ >A wave of awe and opportunity ” (Feb. 13, 2016), correctly said: “The gravitational waves detected … were produced more than a billion years ago by a cataclysmic collision of two black holes, one of them with a mass 36 times that of the Sun and the other …, into one black hole.” The corresponding figure given in the Perspective page article, “ >Discovery of the Century: A new window to the universe opens ” (Feb. 13, 2016) – a black hole with a mass 35 times that of the Sun - was wrong.

>>The full form of IUCAA is Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics and not as published in the report, “ >Gravitational wave astronomy’s finest moment ” (Feb. 12, 2016).
