The advent of advanced detectors truly opened the era of GW astronomy with the first signals from binary black hole mergers detected by Advanced LIGO during the O1 run. The 9-month long O2 run was again very successful, and Advanced Virgo's joining in for the last weeks of O2 was a game changer for source localization. The seminar will provide a review of the results derived from the detections so far, including the spectacular GW170817, the first signal from a binary neutron star coalescence, and its associated electromagnetic counterparts, GRB170817A and AT2017gfo. Prospects for the next few years will be outlined.
