A novel lunar clock
The Large Hadron Collider is so big that tidal effects cause its beam paths to distort, as the machinery bends.

Over here on the US west coast there is an underground facilty about
200 mi inland that has reactive problems with the Pacific ocean waves.
A
It is the LIDAR facility in Washington.
Which balances the two lasers in a vacuum with tune out notch at the
crystal return mirror resonant frequency and use the corrective drive as
the gravity signal information.
Speaking with my friend, the facility appears to have failed to confirm
Einstein's gravity waves from nearby orbiting dual suns or sun with
black hole.
At first, they thought the effect had to do with shift changes or even particular operators on duty (some accelerator folks like to twiddle knobs more than others :-). It was only after they had a couple of months of monitoring data that they noticed that the periodicity matched the tides.
