Advanced LIGO's Extended Reach

Being 10 times more sensitive than initial LIGO, the Advanced LIGO detectors will expand their reach 10 times farther out into space, which equates to probing 1000 times more volume of space. Many large galaxy clusters, possibly containing multitudes of neutron stars or black holes, will be within aLIGO's reach when it achieves design sensitivity.
