Title: Episode 86: Climate Change and FSC – Managing for Climate Impacts featuring Christian Messier, Amy Cardinal, and Vivian Peachy Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard Description: Climate change is no longer a distant risk for forests — it is already reshaping ecosystems, livelihoods, and forest management decisions across Canada and the world. In this final episode of the Climate Change and FSC mini-series, we turn our attention to managing forests for climate impacts. Host Loa Dalgaard Worm is joined by Christian Messier, Professor of Forest Ecology at UQO and UQAM, Amy Cardinal, Senior Fire Advisor at the Indigenous Leadership Initiative, and Vivian Peachy from FSC Canada. Together, they explore how climate-driven disturbances such as wildfire, insect outbreaks, drought, and flooding are increasing in frequency and intensity, and what this means for biodiversity, carbon storage, forest health, and community safety. The conversation examines how forest management practices may need to evolve in response to these impacts, drawing on ecological science, Indigenous knowledge, and practical experience from the ground. Topics include wildfire as both a natural process and a growing risk, the role of forest diversity and resilience, the difference between carbon storage and carbon sequestration, and the real risk of forests shifting from carbon sinks to net carbon sources under increasing disturbance. The episode also looks at how FSC Canada is working to adapt forest management standards to a changing climate, the challenges of balancing multiple forest values, and how tools such as climate vulnerability assessments, adaptive management, and collaboration across sectors can support climate-resilient forest stewardship. This episode concludes the three-part series developed in collaboration between FSC Canada and FSC Denmark, exploring how climate adaptation, science, and governance can come together to shape the future of responsible forest management.

After surviving the early wake up call yesterday along with the rest of the nation, the boys are here to talk a little hockey and since we're hittin' the season halfway point more or less, we're throwing a curve ball and talkin' Team Canada, but this one's from the greatest (?!?) tourney ever played - the 1987 Canada Cup!  With names like Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier, Hawerchuk, Coffey, Murphy and Fuhr, the squad in red and white was a who's who of the best in Canada at the time.  We took on the world, and secured the cup in epic fashion, defeating the Soviet Union in game 3 of the best of 3 take all!  There's never going to be another one like it, so go watch these games wherever you can Sparky!Then, we recap the double heartbreak from Italy, as both the Men's and Women's squads lose their quest for Olympic gold vs the USA - in overtime no less!  Should 3 on 3 play determine the winners on such a worldwide scale?  Could a 75% Sid helped the Canadian squad?  Who got the easy A's graded for their play?  And is it to early to look ahead to the French Alps in 2030?Then, we wrap up Garage League regular season play and hunt for 'tendys in the Pro Set Pack Attack!

There’s nothing like a merger to stir things up. That applies not only to companies and families, but to galaxies as well. One example is Messier 61. A recent merger with a smaller galaxy has brought its central black hole to life, triggered the birth of thousands of new stars. It also kicked out a ribbon of stars that’s as long as the galaxy itself. Messier 61 is a lot like our home galaxy, the Milky Way. It’s about the same size and mass, and it looks about the same – a beautiful spiral with a long bar of stars across its middle. But a close look shows big differences. M61 is giving birth to stars at a much faster rate than the Milky Way. It’s produced more supernovas – the explosive deaths of young, massive stars. The supermassive black hole in its heart is “feeding” much more voraciously. And last year, astronomers discovered a “streamer” of stars behind M61. The streamer is a hundred thousand light-years long, and ten thousand wide. The likely cause of all that activity is a merger with a smaller galaxy. The encounter squeezed big clouds of gas, triggering the starbirth. It provided fresh material for the black hole. And it pulled out stars in the galaxies to form the long tail – stirring things up in a beautiful spiral galaxy. M61 is 55 million light-years away, in Virgo. It climbs into the sky in mid-evening, and sails high across the south later on. It’s an easy target for binoculars. Script by Damond Benningfield

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast recorded at LongevityFest 2025, host Dr. Lexi Gonzales explores the intersection of AI and gut health with Dr. Helen Messier, a physician and molecular immunologist who serves as the Chief Medical and Science Officer at Fountain Life; Dr. Leo Grady, the founder of Jona and an AI expert who previously led the team achieving the first FDA approval for an AI product in pathology; and Dr. Lawrence Kosinski, a gastroenterologist and founder of Sonar MD who is a national leader in value-based care. The panel discusses how Jona's AI platform processes over 220,000 studies to identify dysbiotic patterns that antedate clinical disease—ranging from metabolic liver disease and colon polyps to Parkinson's and cardiovascular issues linked to TMAO—thereby moving clinical focus from "symptoms to systems". The experts emphasize the mechanism of the gut-brain axis, noting that metabolites like butyrate derived from soluble fiber are essential for stabilizing the blood-brain barrier and DNA, while warning that popular GLP-1 agonists, though effective for weight loss, can "collapse" microbiome diversity and require careful monitoring.   For access to episode resources, click HERE.

The star cluster M79 is messy. It’s shedding some of its stars, creating a “tail.” Over the eons, in fact, the cluster might have lost most of the stars it was born with. Messier 79 is a globular cluster – a ball-shaped family of about 150,000 stars. The cluster is more than 11 billion years old, so its stars are among the oldest in the entire Milky Way Galaxy. There’s a trail of stars behind the cluster. The stars probably were stripped away by the gravity of the rest of the galaxy – especially its dense core. Today, M79 is about 42,000 light-years from the Milky Way’s heart. But its orbit might bring it within just a few hundred light-years of the center. At that distance, the gravity of the galaxy’s core overpowers the gravity of the cluster. So stars in M79’s outskirts are pulled away. Eventually, they move away, and follow their own paths across the galaxy. Some simulations have suggested that M79 has lost up to 85 percent of its original population of a million stars or so. And every future passage through the heart of the galaxy will pull away more stars – leaving only a glimmer of M79’s original glory. M79 is in Lepus, the hare. The constellation is close to the lower right of bright Orion, in the southeast at nightfall. M79 is below the outline of the rabbit. You need binoculars to pick it out.

F1's handling of the shakedown test just got a lot messier thanks to Isack Hadjar's "small off". Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe events of the second day of pre-season running of Formula 1 cars has only gone and brought into sharp relief the awkward nature of this first chapter of the 2026 season. The teams want privacy, Formula One wants content and us fans? We just want stuff to chew over after weeks of nothing but speculation.Instead, we got a scenario where nobody is happy. Teams are being analysed by the media anyway (despite their security measures), F1 is facing tons of backlash and fans are left frustrated...with Red Bull Racing's Hadjar the centre of this firestorm...and that's BEFORE the second seat curse chestnut.#f1 #redbullracing #isackhadjar #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1shakedown #f1testing #formula12026 #redbull #hadjar #f1news #f1latest #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1updates #f1crashes #f1crash #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffF1 Just Made Isack Hadjar's Situation Messierhttps://youtu.be/S1lXg3OHaH4https://youtu.be/S1lXg3OHaH4Can't watch the ladder?

Una misteriosa barra de átomos de hierro aparece en la Nebulosa del Anillo y desconcierta a la astronomíaPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoAstrónomos detectaron una estructura de hierro dentro de la Nebulosa del Anillo que no encaja con ningún modelo conocido  La noticia llega desde uno de los objetos más estudiados del cielo nocturno. La Nebulosa del Anillo, también llamada Messier 57, volvió a sorprender a la ciencia. A unos dos mil seiscientos años luz de la Tierra, dentro de esta nube brillante que marca la muerte de una estrella parecida al Sol, apareció algo inesperado: una barra estrecha y alargada formada solo por átomos de hierro. No hay oxígeno, ni hidrógeno, ni helio siguiendo ese patrón. Solo hierro. La estructura mide unos seis billones de kilómetros de extremo a extremo y cruza el centro de la nebulosa como una cicatriz cósmica. Los investigadores reconocen que no saben cómo llegó ahí. Y esa duda abre preguntas inquietantes sobre el destino de los planetas cuando una estrella muere. ¿Podría la Tierra acabar convertida en una nube parecida dentro de miles de millones de años?Todos miraban la nebulosa, pero nadie había visto esto antesLa Nebulosa del Anillo se formó hace unos cuatro mil años, un suspiro en tiempos cósmicos. Nació cuando una estrella con el doble de la masa del Sol agotó su combustible, se infló hasta convertirse en una gigante roja y expulsó sus capas externas. Ese material creó un anillo luminoso de gas, mientras el núcleo quedó reducido a una enana blanca, más o menos del tamaño de la Tierra. Durante décadas, telescopios de todo tipo la observaron en luz visible, infrarroja y ultravioleta. Aun así, esta barra de hierro pasó desapercibida. La razón está en la tecnología. El hallazgo fue posible gracias a un nuevo instrumento llamado WEAVE, instalado en el Telescopio William Herschel, que permite analizar la luz punto por punto en toda la nebulosa. Al revisar los datos, los científicos vieron una línea brillante donde no debía haber nada especial.El problema no es detectar la barra. El problema es explicarla. En las nebulosas planetarias, los elementos suelen mezclarse y distribuirse en formas redondeadas, arcos o burbujas. Aquí ocurre algo distinto. Solo el hierro aparece concentrado en una franja recta. Ningún otro elemento químico sigue esa geometría ni comparte el mismo movimiento. Las mediciones muestran velocidades de entre veinte y cincuenta kilómetros por segundo, valores que no encajan con chorros de materia ni con explosiones conocidas. Además, para liberar hierro del polvo cósmico se necesitan choques muy rápidos o gas a millones de grados, señales que no se observan en esta zona. Aun así, al comparar con imágenes infrarrojas del telescopio James Webb, los astrónomos notaron menos polvo justo donde hay más hierro. Algo está destruyendo ese polvo, pero nadie sabe cómo. Las teorías actuales no alcanzan para cerrar el caso.Una de las ideas más comentadas es tan inquietante como fascinante. La barra podría ser el rastro de un planeta rocoso que orbitaba esa estrella y fue desintegrado cuando la estrella se expandió. La cantidad de hierro detectada equivale, más o menos, a la masa del hierro que tendría un planeta como la Tierra o Venus. Ese material habría quedado alineado por procesos que aún no entendemos bien. Los propios investigadores advierten que esta explicación es provisional. También existe la posibilidad de que la barra revele una fase desconocida en la forma en que las estrellas expulsan su materia al morir. Para resolverlo, el equipo va a realizar nuevas observaciones con mayor resolución. Si aparecen barras parecidas en otras nebulosas, la historia cambiará. Lo que hoy parece raro podría resultar común en el ciclo de vida de las estrellas.La Nebulosa del Anillo es tan popular que aparece en libros escolares y guías para aficionados. Con binoculares ya se distingue como un pequeño aro difuso en la constelación de Lyra. Que un objeto tan observado escondiera una estructura desconocida durante más de dos siglos dice mucho sobre los límites de nuestras herramientas. WEAVE funciona con cientos de fibras ópticas que recogen luz de cada punto del objeto observado. Antes, los astrónomos usaban rendijas estrechas que podían pasar por alto detalles si no apuntaban justo en el ángulo adecuado. Este avance técnico abre la puerta a revisar viejos conocidos con ojos nuevos. Además, hay unas tres mil nebulosas planetarias catalogadas en nuestra galaxia. Muchas podrían guardar sorpresas similares. Estudiarlas ayuda a entender cómo los elementos creados en las estrellas terminan formando nuevos sistemas planetarios. En otras palabras, historias como esta explican de dónde viene el hierro que llevamos en la sangre.Una barra gigante de hierro apareció en el corazón de la Nebulosa del Anillo y dejó a la ciencia llena de preguntas. Nadie sabe aún cómo se formó ni qué la explica mejor. Este tipo de hallazgos recuerda que el universo sigue guardando secretos.

Welcome to Episode 153 of the Think UDL podcast: Designing For Success in Online Learning with Nicole Messier. Nicole Messier is the Associate Director of Instructional Design @ University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) where she leads the instructional design team, manages course development and instructional design projects, facilitates equity-focused workshops, consults with UIC instructors, and collaborates with UIC stakeholders on projects, initiatives, and committee work. Nicole brings her passion for curriculum development and education reform to every course, project, and training including the reason for today's conversation, a presentation called Designing for Success: Integrating Executive Function Supports and UDL in Online Learning. In today's episode, we will discuss how small design choices make a big impact on student success. We will explore how to support learners by tapping into the power of executive functioning skills like time management, organization, planning, and self-regulation, and apply Universal Design for Learning (UDL) strategies that foster autonomy, reflection, and engagement. We'll discuss practical, easy-to-implement techniques that help students stay on track, feel empowered, and thrive in online learning environments. Whether you're refreshing an existing course or building something new, you'll leave with actionable ideas to make your design more inclusive, supportive, and success-oriented. You'll find the resources mentioned in this conversation in the resource section just before the transcript on ThinkUDL.org.

I Am Machine: Life Without Free Will by Lex Van Der Ploeg, Raymond Van Aalst https://www.amazon.com/Am-Machine-Life-Without-Free/dp/1955026629 I Am Machine is an intriguing exploration of what it means to be human–and whether we truly have free will. This thought-provoking narrative will ignite your imagination while causing you to question what drives your own actions and decisions. Whether you’re interested in philosophy and science fiction or simply curious about the human experience, I Am Machine will engage your brain in a way unlike any other book in your personal library. Written from the perspective of an alien visitor to Earth named Ramona Black Hole, I Am Machine rationalizes human existence in the context of a universe filled with life. Throughout the book, Ramona, leader of the globular cluster Messier 13 galactic exploration team, describes life on Earth in the context of her prior planetary experiences, including those with other extraterrestrials she’s encountered. Although Ramona isn’t human, she has a lot of the same questions about life that humans have grappled with since their evolution on Earth. What does it mean to be alive? How much control do we truly have over our lives? What else is out there? Are there parallel universes and alternative realities that we aren’t aware of? Just what is possible in infinite space? Ramona has traveled broadly in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and shares her hypotheses about life and free will, but it’s up to you to decide what you think the universe holds. About the author Lex Van der Ploeg's philosophical interests addressing life in our universe and collaboration with co-author Raymond Van Aalst, inspired the publications of “I Am Machine” and “God’s Retirement”. Having worked as a tenured faculty member at Columbia University and subsequently in leadership roles in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, Lex's expertise includes an active interest in teaching and training colleagues, development of diagnostics and therapeutics for cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disorders, and infectious diseases. Lex received numerous grants and awards for his research and has broadly published on his research in peer reviewed journals.

Messier. More emotional. Less like the fantasy and more like real life.In this episode of The Reinvention Era, I'm talking honestly about:the Christmas you thought you'd havethe Christmas you're actually havingand why the gap between those two can feel emotional as hellBecause Christmas has a sneaky way of dragging up every expectation we've ever absorbed…Who we thought we'd be by now.What we thought life would look like.The roles we've always played… the peacemaker, the hostess, the “good girl”, the one who holds it all together.And for so many women, December becomes the ultimate identity check-in… whether we want it to or not.In this episode, we go all in on…..Why Christmas hits your identity nerves harder than any other time of yearHow nostalgia, expectation, and emotional labour collide in DecemberWhy outgrowing old traditions doesn't make you ungrateful (it makes you honest)The quiet grief and growth that can coexist at this time of yearAnd how to reinvent Christmas without making it big, dramatic, or perfectI also talk about….What it looks like to let go of Christmas expectations that no longer fitWhy I've consciously chosen a Christmas that works for this version of meAnd 8 simple micro-reinventions you can use this season… no pressure, no pretending, no performance requiredThis episode is for you if:Christmas feels emotional, complicated, lonely, or just… offYou're tired of performing joyYou've changed, but the traditions around you haven'tOr you're somewhere between who you used to be and who you're becomingBecause this Christmas might not look like the one you imagined… but it could be the most honest, aligned, and self-honouring one you've ever had.You don't owe anyone a performance.You're not behind.You're unfolding.Merry Christmas

There's a growing fight in Hollywood over some of the biggest characters on screen, like Tony Soprano, Daenerys Targaryen and Harry Potter. All feature in shows and films owned by Warner Brothers Discovery, and now two companies are fighting to get a piece of the action. First, on Friday, Netflix struck an $83 billion deal to acquire Warner Brothers Studios and HBO. Then, just days later, Paramount upped the ante with a higher bid of $108 billion for Warner Brothers Discovery – which includes not just the movie studios and HBO, but also WBD's cable channels, like CNN.As corporate giants vie to take over Warner Brothers, we ask: What are the stakes for Hollywood and the news business? Editor's note: Warner Bros.

An interloper from another galaxy scoots low across the south on October evenings. It’s a tight family of stars – hundreds of thousands of them. The stars probably belonged to another galaxy that was consumed by the Milky Way in the distant past. Messier 30 is low in the south at nightfall, in Capricornus. The sea-goat’s brightest stars form a wide triangle. M30 is on the lower left side of the triangle Messier 30 is a globular cluster – a ball of stars about 90 light-years wide. Most of the stars are concentrated in the cluster’s dense core. The numbers tail off as you move toward the cluster’s edge. Anything that wanders too far from the center gets yanked away by the gravity of the rest of the galaxy. The Milky Way is home to more than 150 globular clusters. But several of them appear to have come from other galaxies. And that includes M30. The main clue to its origin is its orbit. As it circles the center of the galaxy, M30 moves in the opposite direction from most of the stars and star clusters. The only way for such a massive cluster to move against the traffic is if it came from outside the galaxy. So Messier 30 isn’t a native of the Milky Way. Instead, it was pulled in by the Milky Way’s powerful gravity – making it a refugee from another galaxy. We’ll talk about an individual star that might be a refugee from another part of the galaxy tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Can an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy have a supermassive black hole at its center? Are there galaxies with supermassive black holes that are offset from their galactic centers? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome “the other” Dr. Matt Taylor, an Assistant Professor of Astronomy at the University of Calgary, who joins us from the control room of the largest astronomical telescope in Canada, at the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory (RAO) in Alberta, Canada. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, which starts with the discovery of a supermassive black hole in the middle of an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy M60-UCD1 located in the Virgo galaxy cluster. That led to the discovery of more 4 UCDs in the Virgo Galaxy Cluster and 1 in the Fornax galaxy clusters, but then the limits of technology prevented the discovery of any additional UCDs. But now, by using the James Webb Space Telescope, Matt and his fellow researchers (including Dr. Vivienne Baldassare, our former guest for Black Holes and Space Junk with Vivienne Baldassare) have just published a paper about their discovery that in the smallest, lowest mass UCD yet found, they found a roughly 2,000,000 solar mass black hole. Basically, that's a tiny galaxy to hold a supermassive black hole, and Matt is sure there are many more of these waiting to be discovered. After that Matt tells us about his atypical journey to astronomy, including his first career – as a professional chef. When cooking stopped being fun, Matt enrolled at a local community college and “moved from gastronomy to astronomy” as Allen puts it. Our first audience question comes from our Patreon Patron Taylor L, who asks, “Is it possible dark energy and the acceleration of the universe's expansion could be explained by the idea that the black hole we live in is constantly devouring matter from outside?” Matt passes on determining whether or not we live inside a black hole. But, he explains that while at the galactic level expansion is happening on a really large scale, at a smaller scale like our local group of galaxies (Milky Way, Andromeda, and local dwarf galaxies), our mutual gravitation counteracts that expansion. Matt goes on to discuss how accretion disks are what makes it possible to “see” a black hole, but that ultra-compact dwarf galaxies don't have gas and dust forming accretion disks. Instead, they use stellar velocities to find black holes in UCDs. Next up, Matt tells us about some of the research he's doing into archetypal compact elliptical (cE) galaxies, which have the mass of a giant galaxy put into the volume of a dwarf galaxy, and how black holes appear in these systems. And Matt dangles another upcoming paper about galaxies with supermassive black holes that are offset from their galactic centers. For our next audience question, Pshemo asks: “We often say gravity is weak compared to other forces. But in the right regimes, like near black holes and neutron stars, or on large cosmic scales, it dominates every other interaction.

Clean energy isn't just good for the planet, it's good for your wallet. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra - rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Doug Messier was our Hotel Mars guest to discuss the challenges and the struggles concerning NASA getting back to the Moon before China even gets to the Moon. and the Moon Race Douglas Messier both responded to questions by John and David and he discussed a power struggle over NASA, including acting administrator Shawn Duffy's interest in folding NASA into the Department of Transportation and his concern that the United States might lose the Moon Race 2.0 to China. The race is such a high priority to the administration that Duffy has even challenged SpaceX's contract for the Artemis 3 moon landing, aiming to accelerate lander development amid fears that dependence on the complex Starship/Superheavy architecture might delay the mission beyond 2029.

The centrality of discipling a few in pastoral ministry.

The importance of reaching the one in pastoral ministry.

Today's episode isn't just a podcast about kink or BDSM – it's a masterclass in emotional courage, vulnerability and redefining power in loving relationships. Author / kink educator, Janet Hardy helps to bridge the chasm between “normalcy” and kink. Listener questions drive this episode and you're likely to hear your own worries in their questions. You don't have to be kinky to benefit from these insights - many of these issues are universal challenges in life: how do you be vulnerable enough to speak what you want and is it always a good idea to be blunt?We begin with this question: “What if a woman struggles to own her power because of cultural beliefs?” As Footstool so poignantly puts it, many men fantasize about their vanilla partner becoming their Mistress — but how does she step into dominance when a lifetime of conditioning whispers, “Be nice. Be passive. Don't lead.”? Janet offers a compassionate, no-nonsense response: Dominance isn't about dominance — it's about responsibility, clarity, and self-awareness. You don't need to be born a Domme. You become one — through practice, reflection, and permission to shed old scripts.Then came Wellspanked's dilemma: “When negotiating spanking, should we talk technique and intensity beforehand — clinically — or let it unfold in the heat of the moment?” The tension here is real: too much planning kills the spark; too little, and safety frays. Janet reminds us that true eroticism thrives in the space between trust and structure. Yes — talk logistics outside the scene. But leave room for improvisation within it. A safe word isn't a buzzkill — it's the foundation of freedom.One of our listeners, Ben, shared a fear so common it aches: “If my partner rejects my kinks, is the relationship irrevocably broken?” Janet's answer? No — but it might need to evolve. Rejection isn't always final. Sometimes, it's the first step toward honest dialogue. What matters isn't immediate acceptance — it's willingness to listen, to be curious,and to try. What do you do if you get bad news? Janet has an honest answer - the relationship may need to change form — or end — with dignity.Then came the knife-edge question: “Can a partner ever see you as equal after extreme degradation?” This cuts to the heart of humiliation play — one of the most misunderstood, feared, and exciting dynamics in kink. Janet doesn't flinch. She explains that the power of degradation lies not in the words, but in the aftercare. It's not about erasing dignity — it's about temporarily suspending it, with consent, for shared catharsis. And yes — equality returns, if both partners honor the reintegration. The scene ends. The love remains.Erika then turned to Janet's latest work — Notes on an Aging Pervert — a book that's “funny, sad, mind-bending.” She asked: Which essay was a lightbulb moment — for you or someone you love? Janet shared a story about aging, desire, and the myth of the “perfect scene.” The real magic, Janet said, isn't in the play — it's in what happens after:How do you come back to each other? How do you integrate the intensity? That's where connection deepens — not in the whip, but in the whisper that follows.We closed with a truth that resonates through every episode of The Weekly Hot Spot podcast: Kink isn't an escape from love — it's a path into it. Deeper. Messier. More honest.If you've ever feared being “too much,” or worried you're “not enough,” this conversation is for you.Tune in. Listen closely. And ask yourself: What would it feel like to be truly seen — kinks and all?Janet Hardy's websiteWhen Someone You Love is KinkyThe Ethical SlutRadical Ecstasy Mistress Olivia's blog: Experienced MistressOlivia@EnchantrixEmpire.comMistress Erika's blog: Intelligent Phone FantasyErika@EnchantrixEmpire.comDISCORD: LDWOlivia and LDWErika

Power Struggle Over NASA and the Moon Race Guests: Douglas Messier, David Livingston Douglas Messier discusses a power struggle over NASA, including acting administrator Shawn Duffy's interest in folding NASA into the Department of Transportation and his concern that the United States might lose the Moon Race 2.0 to China. Duffy has challenged SpaceX's contract for the Artemis 3 moon landing, aiming to accelerate lander development amid fears that dependence on the complex Starship/Superheavy architecture might delay the mission beyond 2029.

The Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is encircled by dozens of satellites – smaller galaxies in orbit around it. One of the larger satellites is something of an oddball. Of the three-dozen brightest, it’s the only one that lines up on the far side of Andromeda as seen from our home galaxy, the Milky Way. M31 is the closest giant galaxy to the Milky Way – just two-and-a-half million light-years away. Messier 110 is a couple of hundred thousand light-years farther. It’s a few thousand light-years in diameter, and contains about 10 billion stars – a tiny fraction the size of Andromeda. Astronomers have spent years watching M31’s entourage with Hubble Space Telescope. They recently reported that 36 of the 37 brightest members line up on the side of M31 that faces the Milky Way. And that’s hard to explain. The study said there’s only a tiny chance that the alignment is a coincidence – there must be a reason for it. But no one knows what that reason might be. It’s not a result of the Milky Way’s gravitational pull – it’s not strong enough. So there’s no obvious explanation for why M110 is an oddball – lurking on the far side of M31. M31 is low in the northeast at nightfall. Under dark skies, it looks like a hazy slash of light about as wide as the Moon. Through a small telescope, M110 looks like a bright star close by.
