In this episode, we celebrate the announcement of a new galactic discovery on Earth Day 2019. A Wow! confirmed... "We thought that every galaxy had dark matter and that dark matter is how a galaxy begins," said Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, lead researcher of the Hubble observations. "This invisible, mysterious substance is the most dominant aspect of any galaxy. So finding a galaxy without it is unexpected. It challenges the standard ideas of how we think galaxies work, and it shows that dark matter is real: it has its own separate existence apart from other components of galaxies. This result also suggests that there may be more than one way to form a galaxy.” Finding one such galaxy, known as “NGC 1052-DF2” is quite amazing. Yet today, the news is peppered with confirmations that a second such galaxy “DF4” has now been sufficiently studied to credibly deem it to have no dark matter, too. How might this matter to us here on Earth, as we celebrate the 50th Earth Day across the planet? We're here to chat and consider more than just one day's concerns. New reports of interest: NASA  Dark Matter Goes Missing in Oddball Galaxy EarthSky  Astronomers find 2nd galaxy lacking dark matter Wired  Two Unusual Galaxies Shake Up The Dark Matter Debate, Again Business Insider  Astronomers just found a 2nd galaxy containing no dark matter — and it may change everything we knew about how galaxies are formed. About Earth Day About this series: Humanity has always turned its gaze upward, and as our technology gets exponentially more sophisticated, we are still mesmerized by the The Skies Above. Our attention spans mythology to modern times, and space travel, both physical and virtual in the here and now; at once rich in symbolism, while teeming with yet undiscovered scientific data that beckons us onward. Your Wow Whispering host Diane has been fascinated since childhood with all things skyward, as we expand our podcast series to The Skies Above. In this series we honor two traditions which were originally united as one: Astrology and Astronomy. Both derive purpose from seeking to understand the nature of life through explorations beyond Earth. From symbolism to science, mythology to modernity, humanity wants to know more, ever more, about our place in the cosmos.

In this episode, we celebrate the first ever photo of a Black Hole, M87 by name, newly published on April 10, 2017. Wow!!! This feat took 8 radio telescopes, over 200 researchers, more than 10 years and some super precise atomic clocks were all it took to produce this first ever image of poetically named massive black hole M87. Released today after 2 years of processing and studying the data on what is 3 millions times Earth's size and 500 million trillion km away from us. But what does it mean to see an iconic image for the first time? We're here to chat about this. CNN report link. BBC report link. Kudos to Dr. Bouman. Indeed, that's Dr. Katie Bouman who created this pioneering image. “Take your rightful seat in history, Dr. Bouman,” the congresswoman (AO-C) tweeted. ”Congratulations and thank you for your enormous contribution to the advancements of science and mankind.” About this series: Humanity has always turned its gaze upward, and as our technology gets exponentially more sophisticated, we are still mesmerized by the The Skies Above.

How Far Is Far? Your Wow Whispering host Diane has been fascinated since childhood with all things skyward, and today we expand upon our new podcast series, The Skies Above. In this series we honor two traditions which were originally united as one: Astrology and Astronomy. Both derive purpose from seeking to understand the nature of life through explorations beyond Earth. From symbolism to science, humanity want to know more, ever more, about our place in the cosmos. Today, we’ve got the inventions that lets us leap ahead, as science has allowed us to observe, measure and calculate what’s in our skies, and then to travel beyond what the earliest scientists may ever have dreamed was possible. Links to what we highlight in today’s podcast includes: (1) Who invented the telescope? Jacob Metius from The Netherlands started it all around 1600. Hans Lipperhey also Dutch, was hired by the Hague to refine it. Galileo Galilei, an Italian professor and experimenter at the University of Padua, was the third proponent of this new tool, and as a professor, spread the fame and refinements possible with this marvelous new tool, so he is often mis-credited with the original invention. https://history.aip.org/exhibits/cosmology/tools/tools-first-telescopes.htm The 10 biggest telescopes in our modern world are listed here. The Gran Telescopio Canaria (CTC) in Spain is 34 feet (10.,4 meters) across, an amazing feat. https://www.space.com/14075-10-biggest-telescopes-earth-comparison.html (2) How far is far? Consider the Light-Year. The light-year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the total distance that a beam of light, moving in a straight line, travels in one year. To obtain an idea of the size of a light-year, take the circumference of the earth (24,900 miles), lay it out in a straight line, multiply the length of the line by 7.5 (the corresponding distance is one light-second), then place 31.6 million similar lines end to end. The resulting distance is almost 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles! https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/Numbers/Math/Mathematical_Thinking/how_long_is_a_light_year.htm I learned in school that light travels at 186,000 mile per second, and that nothing travels faster than light. Do you believe that? Listen in for what we reveal about that statement in the podcast! (3) Are “computers” people or machines? A surprising answer to that lies at the heart of the fascinating movie “Hidden Figures” (2015, available on Apple’s iTunes and Amazon Prime), which tells the story of early NASA efforts and the pioneering contributions made by three gifted black women: Katherine Goble Johnson, mathematician Dorothy Vaughan, mathematician and supervisor Mary Jackson, mathematician and engineer. .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  Our Podcast PSA for this episode highlights two organizations.

Your host Diane has been fascinated since childhood with all things skyward, and today we briefly introduce a new segment feature on our podcast, The Skies Above. We will honor two traditions which were originally united as one: Astrology and Astronomy. Both derive purpose from seeking to understand the nature of life through explorations above and beyond Earth. Humanity is often mesmerized by our local Sun and Moon, the planets we can see with the naked eye, those we later learned inhabit our solar system (thanks to the invention of the telescope) and of course stars, constellations, and heavenly bodies of all sorts, including our modern astronauts and spacecraft vehicles. NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The word Aeronautics derives from the Greek words for "air" and "to sail.”  Perhaps NASA was thinking of the Astrological sign Aquarius, whose constellation symbolizes a sky traveler pouring energy out into the cosmos. Aquarius is known for invention, innovation, outside-the-box thinking, and ideas. NCGR stands for the National Council for Geocosmic Research, dedicated to h the highest standards of astrological education and professional skills for professional astrologers.  With left brain science, and right brain poetic symbolism, we human beings carry on ancient traditions and a modern calling to discover, learn, test, understand, and interpret life in the universe through endless inquiry and exploration. Join us as we expand this special Wow Whispering series with musings, conversations, and guests drawn from both Astrology and Astronomy, and all they'll reflect of our insatiable human appetite for cosmic communication. .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  Our Podcast PSA for this episode highlights two organizations. ...

The International Space Station serves as a blueprint for global cooperation and scientific advancements, a destination for growing a commercial marketplace in low-Earth orbit, and a test bed for demonstrating new technologies. Research on the station is the springboard to NASA’s next great leap in exploration, sending humans into deep space More to come in the areas of Flight, Space tech and Earth studies!

She brought her love of art to everyone in the class, no matter what their talents were. She was present and giving to everyone. [show-notes-influence] Effect on Emotions Mindfulness has allowed me to pull myself up when I'm feeling the pressure of the stress of a deadline. You say, you know what Diane, here is the deadline and here's how far you are. Let's see what you can get done and not be anxious about it because that just gets in the way of actually accomplishing anything so my emotions are willing to be as wild and crazy as anybody's. But I realize they're [my emotions are] only one part, so they can coexist with something else that I can't even define. I think you've got the word for it - mindfulness. Thoughts on Breathing I have had to learn to re-breathe because apparently I have a little hitch in my breathing. My various wellness coaches have taught me some breathing techniques. I've learned to slow down and breathe through my diaphragm and just literally become present to the physicallity of breathing. Once I become present to how physical a process it is, it just really evens me out and brings me present and kind of calms down my emotions. Suggested Resources Book: Heal Your Body by Louise Hay App: A Time tracking App at www.GetHarvest.com Bullying Story My experience was a teacher bullying me as a kid, which you would never expect. I have teachers who are just like the light of my life and then I have a second story of kids bullying a teacher. The first experience I had was in the fifth grade. I had a music teacher; I was playing the cello. I had studied it for one year and had been invited into a quartet. We played a concert and it went over really well. I was surprised at how wonderful an experience that was and this teacher, after the concert was over, came to my fifth grade classroom and took me out of my class. He brought me into the hallway and stood there with his arms folded and said, Diane, I want to tell you something important. I know that you are studying piano in addition to studying the cello. Any good muscian has to choose one and they cannot do two instruments because it doesn't work and you have to choose. He was very stern. I said what are you saying and he said, I want you to choose between the cello and the piano. I looked at him and said, are you telling me I have to do that right now? He said, yes. What I said was, in that case, I choose the piano. He turned on his heel and stomped down the corridor and left me there in this darkened hallway and that was the end of my cello career. He forced the choice; he wanted that much control and as you know, bullying involves manipulation and control and power plays and cowardice. If he had been mindful, he might have said, that is not what I was expecting you to say and let's see if we can work something out. Anything could have been better than that.
