A slight amendment needs to be added to this excerpted statement from
the OP article:

When large masses move through space, a
disturbance is generated in the form of gravitational waves...

The disturbance is generated if and *only* if the object's motion
contains an acceleration component (such as with co-orbiting black
holes, supernova explosions etc. Thus the statement would read:

"When large masses move through space, and their motion contains an
acceleration (or deceleration) component, a disturbance is generated
in the form of gravitational waves..."

go down,and that has to tell you something. **** in space shuttle
and it will hit you in the face. As proven TreBert
