Scientific paper

An evaluation is made of the development status and near-term prospects for gravitational wave detection; observatories currently in their design phase could detect extragalactic gravitational signals in the early 1990s. Typical of these observatories will be the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, each of whose two instruments will be 1000 times more sensitive than the best existing detector while costing only as much as a large optical telescope. An account is given of the numerous astrophysical phenomena whose gravity wave generation will be open to study by these means.
