I will present recent results detailing these individual gravitational sources, what they can tell us about the nature of General Relativity as well as how they give us a first glimpse of a hidden population of black holes. I will also highlight the observation of the merger of two neutron stars, and how the latest gravitational wave analysis is capable of shedding further light on this golden event.
