Lab notes: a great week for physics, archaeology and ... frogs

A ripple in the fabric of spactime sent the science community wild in February, and now we know it wasn't a one-off: this week LIGO scientists announced that a second gravitational wave has been detected, stemming from the collision of two black holes over a billion years ago. Archaeologists were also popping opening the bubbly as they announced the discovery of not one, but a series of vast medieval cities hidden beneath Cambodia's jungle. There's some great video of it as well. On a lighter note, the news we were all really waiting for: the unique mating position of Bombay night frogs has finally been revealed.
