Gravitational wave

A clean, abstract scientific schematic of a gravitational wave shown as a stylized propagating transverse ripple pattern. Depict smooth sinusoidal ripples or paired wave traces radiating outward as evenly spaced curved bands or concentric distortions, in pale blue, blue-white, violet, or purple-blue tones with a subtle luminous glow. The pattern should suggest alternating stretch-and-squeeze distortions in perpendicular directions, with smooth crests and troughs and slight tapering or narrowing toward the ends. No background objects. Use thin crisp linework, a pale blue-to-violet luminous palette, and minimal flat shading.
