Because a future full-scale MAGIS-100 should detect low-frequency gravitational waves around 1 Hertz, such as those emitting from two black holes orbiting around each other, it could identify the same events that LIGO has already seen, but before the masses actually collide. The two experiments could thus complement one another.

That would really pull it together and prove that this stuff was actually working and not just generating matched-filter artifacts.
