On the Edge: Gravitational Waves
published by the Goddard Space Flight Center
This is a site from NASA dedicated to information on gravitational waves and how we plan to detect them.  The site provides a generic explanation of general relativity and spacetime while also providing information on the origins of gravitational waves and current interferometer detectors such as LISA.
