Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, belongs to a small cluster of galaxies – the Local Group. It has fewer than a hundred known members. But most galaxies reside in much more impressive clusters. And the closest of these is centered in the constellation Virgo, which steps up the eastern sky this evening. The Virgo Cluster contains roughly 2,000 galaxies. They move through space together, bound by their mutual gravitational pull. The cluster’s most impressive member is Messier 87. It marks the center of the cluster, more than 50 million light-years away. M87 may span a million light-years and contain trillions of stars – many times the corresponding values for the Milky Way. And its total mass is more than twice the Milky Way’s. M87 is a different type of galaxy. The Milky Way is a spiral – a flat disk highlighted by “arms” of bright stars that make it look like a pinwheel. M87, on the other hand, is elliptical – it resembles a fat, fuzzy football. It may have grown so large through the mergers of several big galaxies. That scrambled the stars, so they orbit the center of M87 in all directions. The heart of the galaxy harbors a black hole more than a thousand times the mass of the central black hole in the Milky Way. It was the first black hole to have its picture taken – a dark shadow at the heart of a giant galaxy. More darkness in Virgo tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

We know Earth's exact spot in the universe thanks to a mix of astronomy and technology. First, we figured out we're the third planet orbiting the Sun, which is part of the Milky Way galaxy—a giant spiral of stars. Then, astronomers mapped out the Milky Way itself, realizing it's in a smaller arm of the galaxy called the Orion Arm. Beyond that, we know the Milky Way is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group, which is in an even bigger structure called the Virgo Supercluster. Using telescopes and satellites, scientists also track Earth's position relative to other stars, galaxies, and cosmic landmarks like quasars.

No matter what you're doing right now – sitting, standing, walking – you're moving. First, because Earth is spinning around on its axis. This rotation is the reason we have days. Second, because Earth and other planets in our solar system are orbiting the sun. That's why we have years. Third, you're moving because the sun and the rest of our solar system is orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy at over 500,000 miles per hour. If all of that isn't nauseating enough, everything in the entire universe is expanding outward. All the time. But in the 1970s, astrophysicists noticed something strange about our galactic neighborhood, or Local Group. The whole clump of neighboring galaxies was being pulled off course at over one million miles per hour, towards something we couldn't see — the "Great Attractor." This Great Attractor sits in the "Zone of Avoidance," an area of space that is blocked from view by the stars and gas of the Milky Way. Today on the show, host Regina G. Barber talks to astrophysicist Jorge Moreno about this mysterious phenomenon: What it might be and what will happen when we eventually reach it. Curious about other cosmic mysteries?

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.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Constraints on dark matter annihilation and decay from the large-scale structure of the nearby universe by Deaglan J. Bartlett et al. on Wednesday 30 November Decaying or annihilating dark matter particles could be detected through gamma-ray emission from the species they decay or annihilate into. This is usually done by modelling the flux from specific dark matter-rich objects such as the Milky Way halo, Local Group dwarfs, and nearby groups. However, these objects are expected to have significant emission from baryonic processes as well, and the analyses discard gamma-ray data over most of the sky. Here we construct full-sky templates for gamma-ray flux from the large-scale structure within $sim$200 Mpc by means of a suite of constrained $N$-body simulations (CSiBORG) produced using the Bayesian Origin Reconstruction from Galaxies algorithm. Marginalising over uncertainties in this reconstruction, small-scale structure, and parameters describing astrophysical contributions to the observed gamma-ray sky, we compare to observations from the Fermi Large Area Telescope to constrain dark matter annihilation cross sections and decay rates through a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis. We rule out the thermal relic cross section for $s$-wave annihilation for all $m_chi lesssim 7 {rm , GeV}/c^2$ at 95% confidence if the annihilation produces gluons or quarks less massive than the bottom quark. We infer a contribution to the gamma-ray sky with the same spatial distribution as dark matter decay at $3.3sigma$. Although this could be due to dark matter decay via these channels with a decay rate $Gamma approx 6 times 10^{-28} {rm , s^{-1}}$, we find that a power-law spectrum of index $p=-2.75^{+0.71}_{-0.46}$, likely of baryonic origin, is preferred by the data. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2205.12916v2

Almost every galaxy is giving birth to at least a few stars. But a giant stellar nursery on the rim of M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, takes starbirth to the extreme. It is giving birth to thousands of stars — including many that are among the hottest, brightest, and most massive yet seen. M33 is the third-largest member of the Local Group, a collection of scores of galaxies. The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are its largest members. M33 is about half the diameter of the Milky Way, and contains perhaps one-tenth as many stars. Several loosely wound spiral arms wrap around its nucleus. The arms contain huge amounts of gas and dust — the raw materials for new stars. Much of it congregates in a collection of stellar nurseries. The largest is NGC 604. It's about 6,000 times brighter than the Orion Nebula, the closest major nursery to Earth. NGC 604 is only a few million years old, but it's already given birth to about 200 superstars — up to 120 times the mass of the Sun. Many of them will explode. M33 is about three million light-years away, in the constellation Triangulum, which is low in the east-northeast as night falls. Under especially dark skies, the galaxy is just visible to those with good eyesight. Everyone else needs help to see this busy galaxy.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Casey Shiver has been a member of the Buy Nothing Project’s Central Reno group for a couple of years now and started volunteering as an admin in February of 2021. She works full time for UNR, is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Higher Education Administration and spends much of her free time volunteering with local area nonprofits. Her favorite parts of the Buy Nothing Project are getting to know her neighbors and seeing the large number of items being reused rather than entering the landfills. Liz McFarland has been a member of the Buy Nothing Project’s Central group for a few years. She spent most of her time for the past 8 years as the Lead Volunteer for Project 150 Reno and helping 3,500 homeless, disadvantaged and displaced high school students with basic needs. She is also on the board for the giving group “Thank You Ma’am”, on the board for Women and Children’s Center of the Sierra and for Altrusa of Reno/Sparks. Her favorite part of the project is being able to gift items that others will love, consuming less new products, and keeping items out of the landfill. The easiest way to join is to go onto the Buy Nothing projects website at: https://buynothingproject.org/ or if you’re in the Reno/Sparks/Carson/ Tahoe area, you can find a link to the group for your area at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?fbclid=IwAR1j7xrdHAFzrliiP3UqgqjyiaZOc0l4eBUhbq-mc_FEQc_cUV_PwSsBI4Y&mid=1P-wF7OPrJh2GLgiy-pXnmBKTsjs&ll=39.62177576560294%2C-119.58638278378768&z=10

This week we are back at @thecoveonhamblen again enjoying $4 drafts of anything on their tap wall. We are joined by Huggy Bear, Co-Founder and Head Brewer at Local Group Brewing, and Brandon Phelps, Sales Rep for Local Group. And, of course, we're having one of their most popular beers on draft, Magic Flip. We also taste two other Local Group beers. Pink Nebula benefits the Pink Boots Society (@pinkbootshouston), an organization that supports and educates women in the beer industry. And Bake Sale is a fundraiser beer for the Texas Craft Brewers Guild (@TXcraftbrewers). Great beers with a great cause! Local Group opened its doors on February 28, 2020. We discuss how they coped during the pandemic. We also talk about why they got into the industry, the origin of Huggy Bear's name, Brandon's experience working at Disney, and much more! We recommend you listen to the podcast, and then go visit Local Group! They have a full kitchen with delicious food, and they are air-conditioned. A big thank you to our guests, to The Cove, and to our sponsor, Galveston Island Brewing. Cheers!
