Abstract: In its first 400 hours of operation, Advanced LIGO had already surveyed a larger space-time volume than all previous gravitational-wave detection experiments combined. I will discuss the most conspicuous conclusion drawn from this initial data: the observation of GW150914, a binary black hole merger.
