New simulations indicate only a 2% probability of a merger occurring within the next 3.7 to 5 billion years, suggesting that both galaxies may continue to evolve largely unperturbed for a much longer period. We explore the implications of these findings and the variables that have altered previous predictions about our galactic future.Understanding Seismic Wave Acceleration in Earth's D LayerA fascinating new study sheds light on the behavior of seismic waves deep within the Earth. Researchers have discovered that the unique crystal structure of minerals in the D layer, located near the core-mantle boundary, influences the acceleration of seismic waves. This breakthrough not only clarifies the mystery behind seismic wave behavior but also provides insights into the dynamics at play in the Earth's depths.Discovery of Embryonic Exoplanets Using Advanced TechniquesAstronomers have unveiled a new technique that has successfully identified five new embryonic exoplanets, offering a glimpse into their early formation stages. Utilizing the ALMA radio telescope, researchers can peer through dense protoplanetary disks to detect these young planets, which are forming rapidly in dynamic environments. This revolutionary method opens new avenues for understanding planetary evolution and the processes that govern the birth of new worlds.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Communications Earth and Environmenthttps://www.nature.com/commsenv/Astrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/0004-637XBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 69 for broadcast on 9 June 202501:00 New insights on the Milky Way and Andromeda collision12:15 Understanding seismic wave acceleration in Earth's D layer22:30 Discovery of embryonic exoplanets using advanced techniques30:00 Science report: AI systems refusing to turn off

No need to panic. Yet! We'll be fine for the next 4 or 5 billion years, but Andromeda is heading our way. The Andromeda Galaxy was the first object to be identified as being outside our own galaxy, and it introduced us to extragalactic astronomy. And that's not all. It can teach us more about dark matter and it could be home to billions of planets.It's a very cool neighbour, but one day - it's kinda going to move in!Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on X for some special contentX.com/CosmicCoffTimeEmail us! cosmiccoffeetime@gmail.comYou can request a topic for the show! Or even just say hi!We'd love to hear from you.
Why is it so difficult to study the evolution of early galaxies? Are metallic D&D dice better than plastic ones? And can you have too many Pokémon tattoos? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Justin Cole, who is currently a grad student at Texas A&M studying the evolution of distant galaxies in pursuit of his PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing – the recent – and remarkable – discovery of four planets orbiting Barnard's Star, a tiny star not much bigger than Jupiter with the highest measured proper motion of any star in our sky. Chuck and Justin discuss why the discovery of new exoplanets is so challenging, which leads to Justin explaining what he's studying: galaxies in our universe that developed less than 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang – about 2.5 billion years before the birth of our own Milky Way Galaxy. We've got a handle on what's going on with our neighbors like the Andromeda Galaxy, but when it comes to early galaxies, we have a very limited range of wavelengths and scant data to study. This makes it harder to derive understandings of galactic evolution and whether they support or conflict with the standard model of physics. Our first audience question comes from Ricardo, who asks, “What if we discover extraterrestrial plant life and find out it's intelligent? Actually, what if we discover plants on Earth are intelligent? Would it be unethical to eat them?” After Chuck shares a little about Marvel's intelligent, telepathic species of plants called the Cotati, and imitates Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors, Justin weighs in on the ethics of eating intelligent plants and asks a critical question: Would we understand them enough to know? What would happen if we bit into a head of alien lettuce and it started screaming? The ensuing discussion is… tasty, albeit a little unsettling. Our next question is from Thomasina, who asks, “I read that the Big Bang theory is in trouble – what does that mean? And did the Big Bang never happen?” Justin, who is an early universe guy, clarifies what's going on here. We occasionally find galaxies that seem to be too big for the amount of time that they've had to grow. We're also finding black holes that with our current instruments, also appear to be too big. In each case, we're finding better ways to simulate these situations, and it's not that they're too big, or that the Big Bang isn't supportable, it's that we're using tools that are calibrated to “nearby and today” that aren't as good at helping us assess early galaxies. Next up, Justin, who is getting ready to run a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition roleplaying session after the podcast recording, talks about using D&D Beyond to create his own campaigns (set in the World of Warcraft universe!). Chuck and Justin discuss the benefits of rolling metal dice, and Justin shows off a couple of his beautiful D20. Not to be outdone, Allen shares his 120-sided die, the largest die allowed by three dimensional Euclidean geometry in conventional space. Meanwhile, Chuck tells us the sad story of his old, worn plastic dice. As Allen points out, Chuck was in the hobby before it was cool! And as we run out of time, Justin shares his intention to get one Pokémon tattoo for every state he and his wife visit. If you'd like to know more about what Justin's up to, he suggests you Google “Justin Cole Astronomy” or “Justin Cole A&M.” We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

A hundred years ago today, the New York Times reported that Edwin Hubble had made a big discovery. He confirmed that many of the spiral objects known as nebulae were really separate galaxies – “island universes” of stars far outside the Milky Way. The story ran on page six, and it misspelled Hubble’s name. But it was the first public announcement of one of the greatest scientific findings of the 20th century. The discovery dramatically expanded the known universe. Instead of consisting of the Milky Way alone, the universe contained billions of galaxies, spread across billions of light-years of space. Hubble studied a class of stars in two spiral nebulae – Andromeda and M33. Called Cepheid variables, the stars pulse in and out. Measuring the length of its pulses and other details reveals the star’s true brightness. From that, astronomers can calculate the star’s distance. Hubble calculated that Andromeda was about 860,000 light-years away, and M33 a bit farther. Modern calculations show that they’re about three times farther than Hubble thought. Still, the concept was proved: the universe extends far beyond our galactic home – a concept revealed a century ago. Andromeda – now known as the Andromeda Galaxy – is in the east-northeast at nightfall. Under dark skies, it’s visible to the eye alone – 2.5 million light-years away. We’ll talk about the most famous Cepheid tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

This is a special vlog I recorded yesterday, Friday 11-1. The Mother Arc gates are undergoing a massive "upgrade" for lack of a better term. There are influxes of transmissions from Andromeda Galaxy to black holes where galaxies are birthing in Virgo, thus a deeper access into the "quantum field". According to a couple of sidereal or 13 sign astrologists, the sun is still in Virgo until 11-3/11-4. I've been experiencing gamma rays from these galaxies which feels like it is facilitating polarity integration and resolution at a very physical level, like the yin and the yang. It feels like yin and yang organs are healing to be one. In particular according to my friend who's a retired accupressure and massage therapist, large intestine is yang and it's counterpart is lungs (yin). The small intestine is yang and its counterpart is the heart (yin). The stomach is yang and its counterpart is the spleen (yin). Liver is yin and its counterpart the gall bladder is yang. If you've had your gall bladder removed, your etheric body still has the organ. As we enter Libra, the scales, there will be a deeper impulse to heal and balance all aspects. Deep emotions in cellular memory may come up such as emotions in the intestines. This is all to embody the pure essence of our spirit and embody the trinity which is the resolution of polarity. There's more to this process in 2025 so heal what's available to you today.

When you walk from a brightly lit room into a dark one, you might stumble for a while until you can see what you’re doing. And the same thing happens when you step out under a dark night sky – it takes some time to see its full glory. When you enter the darkness, your eyes adapt in several ways. First, the pupil opens wider, letting in more light. Second, the eye’s cones become more sensitive. They see color and detail, but they’re not very helpful when it’s dark. Finally, the rods adapt. They see best under low light. But they need a special chemical to do that. The chemical goes away when it’s bright. It rebuilds when it turns dark, but it takes time – 20 to 30 minutes. So if you’re watching the stars from your back yard, turn off the lights, and leave your phone alone. If you need some extra light, try a red flashlight – it won’t mess with your eyes. One other thing that can enhance your view is averted vision. The rods are concentrated around the edge of the eye, so they do a better job when you look at a faint object out of the corner of your eye instead of straight on. Two good targets for averted vision are in view by about 8:30 or 9. The Pleiades star cluster is low in the east-northeast, and looks like a tiny dipper. High above it is the Andromeda Galaxy, which looks like a tiny cloud. It’s the most-distant object that’s easily visible to the eye – but only when the eye is ready for the darkness.

Andromeda is best known for the Andromeda Galaxy, M31. But that’s not the constellation’s only good “deep-sky” object. One of them is inside our own galaxy: a dying star known as the Blue Snowball Nebula. Even though it’s much closer than the Andromeda Galaxy, the Snowball is still a good jaunt from Earth – about 5500 light-years. It’s a bubble of gas and dust expelled by a star at the end of its life. The star’s nuclear reactor – its hot core – is switching off. Radiation from the core is blowing away the star’s outer layers. That bubble spans close to a light-year, and it’s expanding at about 60,000 miles per hour. The gas is “energized” by ultraviolet light from the core, causing it to glow. Seen through a telescope, it looks like a blue snowball. With the outer layers barreling away from it, the core is exposed to view. It’s tiny – only about 10 percent the diameter of the Sun. But it’s much, much hotter than the surface of the Sun, so it shines thousands of times brighter. Before long, though, the core’s nuclear fire will be extinguished. The core will continue to shine, but at a tiny fraction of the Sun’s brilliance. With no energy source to light it up, the blue snowball will melt away. Andromeda is low in the east and northeast as night falls. The nebula is at the right edge of the constellation, not far to the left of the Great Square of Pegasus. Tomorrow: a faint eclipse.

Happy Wednesday, everyone! In this episode, we dive into the aftermath of last night's debate. Rather than rehashing the play-by-play, we focus on the overarching themes and deeper implications of what transpired. Was it all scripted? We explore the connections between ABC, Kamala Harris, and a surprising clip that hints at a spiritual dimension to the debate. We also delve into the apparent bias in fact-checking and the manipulation of polls, illustrated by a revealing anecdote from a Pennsylvania bakery. The episode critiques Kamala Harris's debate performance, questioning her middle-class claims and highlighting her scripted responses. We discuss the role of media and programming in shaping public opinion and the spiritual undertones that might be influencing these events. The segment "Word Against Word" returns, comparing verses from the Book of Matthew and Psalms, encouraging listeners to reflect on which resonates more with them today. We also touch on Kamala Harris's choice of earrings and their possible significance, along with a discussion on how Trump managed to get his points across despite apparent efforts to mute him. A fascinating revelation about the Andromeda Galaxy and its connection to Kamala Harris's name is unveiled, sparking a discussion on the occult and its potential influence on political figures. The episode also features a personal note on the importance of prayer and a call for support for those affected by a recent hurricane. Join us for this thought-provoking episode as we navigate the current political landscape, uncover hidden truths, and seek spiritual guidance.

Hey guys! Here's another compilation of surprising facts about space! Space is an amazing place that we are continuing to learn more and more about. It's hard to imagine how huge our galaxy is and how much of it we don't yet understand. For example, did you know that the ocean on Jupiter is larger than any other in the Solar System? But unlike Earth's oceans, it's made not of water but of metallic hydrogen! Or have you ever wondered what the future of our galaxy is? Well, the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy are going to meet in 3.75 billion years. They're moving toward each other at breakneck speed! So what will happen when the two galaxies collide? The Moon isn't a sphere - it's shaped like an egg. There's a gigantic red spinning storm on Jupiter. The Sun's surface is colder than its atmosphere.

Psalm 8:3-4 I know very, very little about astronomy. However, whenever I hear about it, I find it mind-blowing. I totally understand where David was coming from in this psalm. Let me give you a few facts about our amazing universe. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, so it covers 671 million miles per hour. In a year light travels about 6 trillion miles. Even if you managed to travel at the incredible speed of light it would take 96 billion light years to get from one side of our universe to the other. Let's leave it there! All we need to conclude is that David asks a really good question. Why on earth should God take the tiniest bit of interest in those miniscule specks of dust that we call human beings? The psalm doesn't offer an explanation as to why God has acted in this way. It simply affirms that that's the way it is. God has chosen to give human beings this phenomenally important status and asked us to look after his creation. The punch line of this psalm is simply an outpouring of worship. “O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!” (v9). If you ever feel unimportant, then go out on a clear night and gaze at the sky. Without using a telescope it is possible to see the planet of Saturn, which is 746 million miles away. The furthest it is possible to see with the naked eye is the Andromeda Galaxy, which is 2.5 million light years away. Look hard and remember that, tiny as you are, God cares for you. And if that doesn't convince you, why not get a telescope?! Question How do you respond to the incredible scale of the universe and the importance that God has placed on your life? Prayer Majestic God, I praise you for your amazing creation. Thank you that you love me so much. I am simply astonished that I am so important to you. Amen

It's not often that a single star transforms our view of the universe. But it happened with a star that was photographed 100 years ago tonight. The star proved that there's more to the universe than just the Milky Way Galaxy — much more. The star is known today as M31-V1. It's in M31, the Andromeda Galaxy. A century ago, M31 was called the Andromeda Nebula. Many astronomers thought it was a mote of matter inside the Milky Way. Others thought it was a separate galaxy — an “island universe” of billions of stars. On the night of October 5th of 1923, Edwin Hubble snapped a picture of a small segment of M31. He identified three stars that had grown much brighter since the last time he looked at them. Follow-up observations showed that one star's brightness changed from night to night. That star was a Cepheid — a supergiant star that's unstable. It pulses in and out like a beating heart. The duration of the pulses revealed the star's true brightness. And from that, Hubble calculated its distance — a million light-years. Studies of other Cepheids confirmed the distance. So M31 had to be well beyond the Milky Way — vastly expanding our understanding of the universe. Modern observations put the distance to M31 at two-and-a-half million light-years. And the galaxy is visible to the unaided eye. Under dark skies, it looks like a faint smudge of light, in the north-northeast at nightfall. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory
My favorite episode in months. One that I'm hoping the most curious of the cult of the curious will truly enjoy.

If you look at a map of just about any state, you'll see a few major cities, a few more mid-sized ones, and a whole bunch of small towns. And the same thing happens if you look at a map of our galactic neighborhood. There are a couple of giant galaxies, a few mid-sized ones, and a whole bunch of little ones. They're all bound to each other by their mutual gravitational pull. This collection of galaxies is known as the Local Group. It spans about 10 million light-years, and contains a hundred or so known members, with more added every year. The “big cities” of the Local Group are our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and the Andromeda Galaxy, M31. Each is a disk that's at least a hundred thousand light-years wide, and contains hundreds of billions of stars. After these two behemoths, the list includes a few mid-size members. The largest is the Triangulum Galaxy. It's about half the diameter of M31 and the Milky Way, but only a few percent as massive. A couple of mid-size galaxies are satellites of M31. One is a spiral, while the other is a small elliptical galaxy, which looks like a fuzzy rugby ball. And two more members of the mid-size brigade orbit the Milky Way — the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Most of the other members of the Local Group are tiny — far smaller, and with far fewer stars, than the larger galaxies. Many are satellites of the Milky Way, and we'll have more about them tomorrow.

Messier 31 — the Andromeda Galaxy — is the hub of an empire. It's orbited by at least 40 smaller galaxies, all held in place by M31's powerful gravity. One of its largest satellite galaxies was discovered 250 years ago today, by French astronomer Charles Messier. Messier's main interest was comets — hazy balls of ice and rock. At the time, finding comets brought fame and fortune. But the sky is filled with fuzzy objects that resemble comets. Messier compiled a catalog of more than a hundred of those objects so that he and others could ignore them. While observing Messier 31 — the 31st object in his catalog — Messier found a small, bright blob next to it. He took some notes and drew a picture of it, but he didn't list it in his catalog. Two centuries later, though, astronomers decided to add it. It became Messier 110 — the final object on Messier's list. M110 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy. It's less than one-sixth the diameter of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and only a few percent as massive. It doesn't have spiral arms or other obvious structures — just a bright center with stars fading away toward the edges. M31 is low in the northeast not long after darkness falls, and passes high overhead not long before dawn. Under dark skies, it's just visible to the unaided eye as a hazy smudge of light. M110 is quite close to it, but it's too faint to see without a telescope. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Galaxies grow through mergers with other galaxies. Astronomers can uncover evidence of this in our galaxy by mapping the motions of stars. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on the Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, astronomers have studied the merger history of the Andromeda Galaxy for the first time. In this podcast, Dr. Joan Najita describes this study and what we have learned about the immigration history of the Andromeda Galaxy. Bios: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Joan Najita is an Astronomer at NOIRLab, the National Science Foundation's research and development center for ground-based optical-infrared astronomy. While her research is primarily aimed at understanding how stars form from interstellar clouds and how disks surrounding young stars evolve to produce planets and the chemical ingredients of life, she has a broad range of research interests, including massively multiplexed wide-field spectroscopy, low mass stars and brown dwarfs, the structure and origin of our galaxy, the Milky Way, the nature of discovery in astronomy and its science sociology and resource allocation practices. She is actively engaged in communicating science to the public and has a lifelong interest in the power of science to inspire and in the role of science in society.
