abstract = "Gravitational-wave astronomy is a new field of discovery. With the first direct observation of gravitational waves from merging black holes in 2015, this field has expanded significantly with approximately 50 detections in the subsequent five years, including the transformative multimessenger observation of merging neutron stars that was also seen across the electromagnetic spectrum. In this chapter, I briefly review the history of gravitational-wave astronomy, before focusing attention on current observations with ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers. This includes a thorough review of current observations, as well as a look into the potential discovery space of this exciting new field.",
