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.

En otras palabras, con el tiempo, las dos galaxias se fusionarían espectacularmente. Esto ha sido un conocimiento común para los astrónomos desde entonces, pero ¿es realmente cierto? Un nuevo artículo de investigadores de la Universidad de Helsinki analiza varios factores de confusión, incluida la influencia gravitatoria de otras galaxias en nuestro grupo local, y encuentra solo un 50% de probabilidad de que la Vía Láctea se fusione con la galaxia de Andrómeda en los próximos 10 mil millones de años.

Gal and Giacomo are amongst the co-authors of ‘STIR: Reed–Solomon Proximity Testing with Fewer Queries' (https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/390) and in this conversation, they discuss how their research led them to work on these topics and where the thesis for this particular work sparked from. They set the stage by exploring the history of FRI and discussing some hidden nuances in how FRI works. And then they introduce STIR, a system that can be used in place of FRI, which incorporates various optimisations to improve the performance.

We'll see! In this week's episode, the first in a series, Roo starts taking you through the ins and outs of Pixinsight. What started as a simple "lets highlight the favorite features of" Pixinsight quickly devolves, right before your ears, into the very process Roo uses to process his own photos. In this first episode, we cover the costs associated with purchasing a license for PI, as well as its competitors. We also go over how to separate your lights from calibration frames, folder structure, and then importing the files into PI so you can properly use the Weighted Batch Preprocessing script. By the end of the episode, you'll have a fully stacked and an auto-stretched image. Next week, we will get into the next steps of processing. I am including a link to my Google Drive which includes some data you can use to follow along, in case you don't have your own. This is nothing fancy, just some M42 data. Truth be told, I haven't stacked it myself yet. But if it's amazing, let me know. It's from my new 135 rig.

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

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

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
