It's the end of everything! Welcome back to Part 2 of our season finale featuring Dr. Charles Liu, co-host Allen Liu, and our guest archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. (If you haven't caught up to Part 1, we highly recommend you do before embarking on the next leg of this journey! Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!) We pick right up where we left off, with the next question from our audience. Daniela asks, “If a black hole hits the Sun, will Earth be destroyed?” Chuck explains a few ways a black hole can mess with our day, including the fact that long before any actual collision took place, the Sun would start shedding material that would destroy us. He compares that unlikely event to the actual example of cosmic destruction we're watching in NGC 4676 – aka “The Mice” – which are two galaxies swirling together in a death spiral playing out over hundreds of millions of years. Naturally, this leads Chuck to ponder what happens when civilizations fall apart here on Earth, and Hannah brings up the collapse of the Roman Empire. As she explains, “the fall of Rome happened a lot of times, and also, no time.” From 44 BCE and the assassination of Julius Caesar, to the 476 invasion and conquest of Rome by the Germanic tribes denoted by Edward Gibbon in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to the fact ever since nations have claimed to be the descendants or inheritors of Rome. Chuck points out the influence of Gibbon's book on Isaac Asimov's “Foundation” series, followed by a very quick romp through “Decline and Fall of America” literature including The Handmaid's Tale, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Man in the High Castle, and the zombie apocalypse tour de force, World War Z. Then it's time for another question from the audience: Michael says, “I heard that scientists brought back a dire wolf. Could they bring back dinosaurs or animals that could destroy us all?” It turns out, these resurrected animals are just gray wolves that have been engineered to have some characteristics of the extinct predator. It's still a pretty impressive feat, though, and you'll hear how they collected bits and pieces of dire wolf DNA to “resurrect them.” Allen also brings up similar modification experiments they're doing on chickens to make them more dinosaur-like. Allen points out that bioengineered germs are far more likely to cause our destruction than resurrected dinosaurs, regardless of the world envisioned in the Jurassic Park franchise. And speaking of Michael Crichton, Chuck gives us a breakdown of his sci-fi classic, The Andromeda Strain, about bacteria from space that cause a biological outbreak here on Earth. Hannah points out that historically, some of the biggest killers of human beings have been plagues. She gives us a guided tour of the bubonic plagues, from the Black Death, which may have wiped out as much as 60% of the population of Europe, to the Plague of Justinian a thousand years earlier that killed as many as 100 million people, while also name dropping the Antonine Plague and the Spanish Flu!) And that's it Season 4 of The LIUniverse. Stay tuned for Season 5 after the summer.

rWotD Episode 2946: NGC 5101 Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 28 May 2025, is NGC 5101.NGC 5101 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Hydra. It is separated in the sky from the spiral galaxy NGC 5078 by about 0.5 degrees, and both are believed to be at the same distance from the Earth. This would mean they are approximately 800,000 light-years apart. Both galaxies are believed to be about the size of the Milky Way.One supernova has been observed in NGC 5101: SN 1986B (type I, mag. 17) was discovered by Bruno Leibundgut and L. Cameron on 13 February 1986.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Wednesday, 28 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see NGC 5101 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

Trên các mạng xã hội, các công thức nấu ăn, các bức ảnh chụp hay video về nghệ thuật ẩm thực rất thịnh hành phổ biến, nhất là đối với giới trẻ thích Instagram và TikTok. Thế nhưng, đằng sau nét quyến rũ mê hoặc của những món ăn với lối trình bày đẹp mắt, đằng sau nét lộng lẫy hào nhoáng của những ngôi sao Michelin, là cả một quá trình rèn luyện đào tạo đòi hỏi nhiều thời gian và công sức. Theo khảo sát gần đây của cơ quan Ipsos, 58% bạn trẻ ở Pháp trong độ tuổi 15-35 đều xem thường xuyên tài khoản của các ngôi sao ẩm thực, các tiệm bánh hoặc nhà hàng trứ danh. 67% thanh niên Pháp cũng thường xuyên tham khảo công thức nấu ăn của những đầu bếp mà họ yêu thích. Ngày nay, ngành ẩm thực là một lãnh vực năng động : các bạn trẻ chọn nghề này vì họ dễ tìm được việc làm một khi tốt nghiệp ra trường. Thế nhưng, một số bạn trẻ cũng không tránh khỏi sự thất vọng : đằng sau dáng vẻ hào nhoáng, được phản ánh qua mạng xã hội hay các chương trình truyền hình, các ngành nghề ẩm thực trong thực tế đòi hỏi tính siêng năng, cần mẫn. Nghệ thuật ẩm thực là bệ phóng cho nhiều tài năng trẻ tuổi, nhưng để thành danh, tài năng mới ấy cần có thời gian đào tạo hay để trau dồi tay nghề. Đó là nhận xét của đầu bếp Anto Cocagne, tác giả chuyên viết sách dạy nấu ăn và chủ cửa hàng thực phẩm cao cấp Baraka ở Paris. "Tôi nhận được tin nhắn của khá nhiều bạn trẻ nói với tôi rằng họ muốn đeo đuổi ngành ẩm thực nhưng gia đình lại không muốn như vậy. Có lẽ cũng vì đây còn là những nghề chưa được coi trọng, các bạn trẻ chọn nghề này bị đánh giá là họ không có nhiều tham vọng. Quan niệm ấy khiến nhiều gia đình muốn con em mình chọn nghề « danh giá » thay vì làm đầu bếp hay làm việc trong ngành phục vụ ăn uống. Gia đình tôi cũng vậy, giờ đây bố mẹ tôi rất mừng khi nhìn thấy con mình thành đạt, nhưng thực tế là lúc đầu, chuyện làm bếp hay mở cửa hàng bán thực phẩm không phải là mong muốn của gia đình tôi. Nhiều bạn trẻ xem nhiều video trên TikTok, rồi nghĩ rằng nấu ăn cũng dễ thôi, chỉ cần học trên mạng. Nhưng theo kinh nghiệm của tôi, bạn không thể đơn thuần học nấu ăn trên TikTok. Bản thân tôi từng được đào tạo bài bản về cách nấu ăn, từng tham gia các chương trình ẩm thực trên đài truyền hình, nhưng tôi vẫn phải quay lại học một khóa đào tạo về cách làm bánh ngọt. Khi làm món tráng miệng, tôi không hiểu vì sao loại bánh choux của tôi lại không ngon. Khi trở lại trường lớp, tôi mới hiểu rằng, có những động tác cách làm, ta không thể học được từ xa hay trên mạng, ta cần được một chuyên gia hướng dẫn từng động tác cử chỉ và cần được giải thích lý do tại sao ta nên làm theo cách này chứ không phải cách khác". Đọc thêmGuillaume Gomez : Vị đại sứ mang ẩm thực Pháp đi khắp thế giớiCác video trên TikTok thường phản ánh một cách chớp nhoáng những nét lộng lẫy, ngoạn mục nhất của nghệ thuật ẩm thực. Nhưng đó thường là thành quả, chứ không phải là quá trình thực hiện, càng công phu càng đòi hỏi nhiều thời gian. Theo ông Pascal Maillou, hiệu trưởng của Lycée Bélliard, một trường trung học cấp hai chuyên dạy nghề ẩm thực tại Paris, nhiều đầu bếp nổi tiếng thường được mời đến trường để truyền đạt kinh nghiệm của họ và nhất là để giải thích về thực tế nghề nghiệp của ngành ẩm thực. "Trường chúng tôi thường mời những đầu bếp nổi tiếng đến tư vấn và hướng dẫn giới học sinh trong khuôn khổ chương trình « masterclass ». Gần đây, chúng tôi đã mời một số nghệ nhân xuất sắc nhất của Pháp, nhờ kinh nghiệm chuyên môn và nhiều năm tay nghề nên họ đoạt giải Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF). Các chuyên gia này tạo động lực cho các học sinh, nhưng đồng thời giải thích về những điều mà các em cần phải trao dồi : tính kiên nhẫn chịu khó và độ chính xác thuần thục. Cả hai đều đòi hỏi nhiều thời gian, hầu hết những đầu bếp lớn đều phải trải qua giai đoạn này mới đạt được thành công trong sự nghiệp hay uy tín của các cuộc thi quốc tế. Tuy nhiên, đa số các học sinh thường nhìn thấy các ưu điểm bề ngoài, mà lại chóng quên rằng, ở trường lớp, họ còn phải học nhiều thứ khác bị cho là khô khan, không dễ thuộc lòng. Chẳng hạn như trường Bélliard có mở lớp đào tạo về các điều kiện vệ sinh, từ chuyện lau chùi trong bếp cho đến bảo quản thực phẩm. Khóa đào tạo kéo dài trong nhiều kỳ này là một lớp học bắt buộc, nếu không học thì thí sinh sẽ không nhận được bằng cấp. Tại Pháp, để có được bằng CAP của một trường dạy nghề, bạn phải theo học một số lớp đào tạo nhất định (thường là 400 giờ trong hai năm). Vì vậy, nghề nấu ăn hay làm bánh nếu muốn có bằng cấp, cần có sự đào tạo bài bản, chứ không thể học cấp tốc từ xa hay chỉ được xem qua các video hướng dẫn trên TikTok. Một công việc càng đòi hỏi tay nghề và kỹ thuật thành thạo, lại càng cần có người tận tâm chỉ dẫn chứ không thể học từ xa. Khái niệm thi đua cạnh tranh rất quan trọng trong các trường đào tạo dạy nghề, vì đó là động lực nâng trình độ của toàn bộ lớp học lên một mức cao hơn. Ở đây, trường chúng tôi phân biệt ba nhóm đối tượng khác nhau : có những người chỉ giỏi nấu ăn, có người chỉ chuyên về điều hành êkíp nhân viên, còn nhóm người thứ ba giỏi về mặt kinh doanh, biết huy động vốn để làm chủ nhà hàng. Cả ba đối tượng này đều có một vai trò quan trọng, tuy vậy trường chúng tôi tập trung vào việc nhóm đầu tiên, mà thuật ngữ chuyên ngành gọi là « những bàn tay nhỏ bé », nguồn nhân viên này rất cần thiết trong tất cả các nhà hàng và khách sạn, các ngành dịch vụ này rất cần đến những nhân viên như vậy, trước khi nghĩ tới chuyện tuyển nhân viên có tay nghề chuyên môn hay cao hơn. Đối với nhiều người học việc, miễn là họ có ý chí và nỗ lực, họ có thể tiến rất xa. Họ có thể bắt đầu làm việc ở cấp bậc thấp nhất, nhưng nhờ có ý chí vươn lên mà sau đó trở thành giám đốc điều hành nhiều quán ăn trong cùng một tập đoàn". Đọc thêmSách hướng dẫn miễn phí các quán ăn Pháp với giá phải chăngCũng theo ông Pascal Maillou, hiệu trưởng trường dạy nghề Bélliard, hàng năm trường đào tạo khoảng 600 học sinh đến từ 40 nước khác nhau. Các khóa đào tạo đều là dài hạn từ hai đến ba năm. Một khi ra trường, các học sinh tại Pháp đều nắm các kỹ thuật căn bản, nhưng sau đó họ phải còn tự trau dồi thêm vì ngay cả ở Pháp, sau khi họ được tuyển dụng, họ phải biết thích nghi, mỗi nhà hàng quán ăn đều có thực đơn riêng, cung cách phục vụ cũng khác biệt. Theo đầu bếp Lorna Boboua Do Sacramento, làm việc cho công ty Onomo, tình trạng thiếu hụt nhân viên khiến các tập đoàn quốc tế trong ngành dịch vụ khách sạn nhà hàng luôn nhức đầu với vấn đề tuyển dụng, nhất là vào những mùa cao điểm. "Quả thật là có một sự thiếu hụt nhân viên và ở đây tôi muốn phân biệt nhiều trường hợp khác nhau, trước hết có những bạn trẻ muốn đốt giai đoạn : họ quan tâm đến nhiều các mạng xã hội, họ ngưỡng mộ sự thành công của những đầu bếp trứ danh và họ nghĩ rằng họ cũng muốn làm như vậy, chỉ có điều là họ nhìn vào thành quả mà lại ít có ý thức về quá trình và tất cả những nỗ lực làm việc để đạt được thành quả đó. Bên cạnh đó, còn có những bạn trẻ được đào tạo bài bản qua trường lớp, nhưng một khi được tuyển dụng rồi, thì họ cần được học lại vài khóa để thích nghi với môi trường công việc. Ở trường lớp các bạn học cách nấu ăn, kỹ thuật chế biến, nhưng khi vào đời phải học thêm tính năng động, linh hoạt : từ các cú va chạm mà học thêm cách tùy cơ ứng biến". Dù hàng năm, có khá nhiều thực tập sinh tốt nghiệp, nhưng các trường đào tạo ở Pháp vẫn chưa đủ để giải quyết tình trạng thiếu hụt nhân viên có tay nghề. Các trường dạy nghề chuyên về ẩm thực đều đang ở trên đà phát triển mạnh chừng nào tại Pháp vẫn còn nhiều nghịch lý trong ngành dịch vụ khách sạn nhà hàng : chỗ làm tại các hàng quán thì nhiều, nhưng nhân viên có tay nghề thực thụ dường như lúc nào cũng thiếu.

Theo khảo sát gần đây của cơ quan Ipsos, 58% bạn trẻ ở Pháp trong độ tuổi 15-35 đều xem thường xuyên tài khoản của các ngôi sao ẩm thực, các tiệm bánh hoặc nhà hàng trứ danh. 67% thanh niên Pháp cũng thường xuyên tham khảo công thức nấu ăn của những đầu bếp mà họ yêu thích. Ngày nay, ngành ẩm thực là một lãnh vực năng động : các bạn trẻ chọn nghề này vì họ dễ tìm được việc làm một khi tốt nghiệp ra trường. Thế nhưng, một số bạn trẻ cũng không tránh khỏi sự thất vọng : đằng sau dáng vẻ hào nhoáng, được phản ánh qua mạng xã hội hay các chương trình truyền hình, các ngành nghề ẩm thực trong thực tế đòi hỏi tính siêng năng, cần mẫn. Nghệ thuật ẩm thực là bệ phóng cho nhiều tài năng trẻ tuổi, nhưng để thành danh, tài năng mới ấy cần có thời gian đào tạo hay để trau dồi tay nghề. Đó là nhận xét của đầu bếp Anto Cocagne, tác giả chuyên viết sách dạy nấu ăn và chủ cửa hàng thực phẩm cao cấp Baraka ở Paris. "Tôi nhận được tin nhắn của khá nhiều bạn trẻ nói với tôi rằng họ muốn đeo đuổi ngành ẩm thực nhưng gia đình lại không muốn như vậy. Có lẽ cũng vì đây còn là những nghề chưa được coi trọng, các bạn trẻ chọn nghề này bị đánh giá là họ không có nhiều tham vọng. Quan niệm ấy khiến nhiều gia đình muốn con em mình chọn nghề « danh giá » thay vì làm đầu bếp hay làm việc trong ngành phục vụ ăn uống. Gia đình tôi cũng vậy, giờ đây bố mẹ tôi rất mừng khi nhìn thấy con mình thành đạt, nhưng thực tế là lúc đầu, chuyện làm bếp hay mở cửa hàng bán thực phẩm không phải là mong muốn của gia đình tôi. Nhiều bạn trẻ xem nhiều video trên TikTok, rồi nghĩ rằng nấu ăn cũng dễ thôi, chỉ cần học trên mạng. Nhưng theo kinh nghiệm của tôi, bạn không thể đơn thuần học nấu ăn trên TikTok. Bản thân tôi từng được đào tạo bài bản về cách nấu ăn, từng tham gia các chương trình ẩm thực trên đài truyền hình, nhưng tôi vẫn phải quay lại học một khóa đào tạo về cách làm bánh ngọt. Khi làm món tráng miệng, tôi không hiểu vì sao loại bánh choux của tôi lại không ngon. Khi trở lại trường lớp, tôi mới hiểu rằng, có những động tác cách làm, ta không thể học được từ xa hay trên mạng, ta cần được một chuyên gia hướng dẫn từng động tác cử chỉ và cần được giải thích lý do tại sao ta nên làm theo cách này chứ không phải cách khác". Đọc thêmGuillaume Gomez : Vị đại sứ mang ẩm thực Pháp đi khắp thế giớiCác video trên TikTok thường phản ánh một cách chớp nhoáng những nét lộng lẫy, ngoạn mục nhất của nghệ thuật ẩm thực. Nhưng đó thường là thành quả, chứ không phải là quá trình thực hiện, càng công phu càng đòi hỏi nhiều thời gian. Theo ông Pascal Maillou, hiệu trưởng của Lycée Bélliard, một trường trung học cấp hai chuyên dạy nghề ẩm thực tại Paris, nhiều đầu bếp nổi tiếng thường được mời đến trường để truyền đạt kinh nghiệm của họ và nhất là để giải thích về thực tế nghề nghiệp của ngành ẩm thực. "Trường chúng tôi thường mời những đầu bếp nổi tiếng đến tư vấn và hướng dẫn giới học sinh trong khuôn khổ chương trình « masterclass ». Gần đây, chúng tôi đã mời một số nghệ nhân xuất sắc nhất của Pháp, nhờ kinh nghiệm chuyên môn và nhiều năm tay nghề nên họ đoạt giải Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF). Các chuyên gia này tạo động lực cho các học sinh, nhưng đồng thời giải thích về những điều mà các em cần phải trao dồi : tính kiên nhẫn chịu khó và độ chính xác thuần thục. Cả hai đều đòi hỏi nhiều thời gian, hầu hết những đầu bếp lớn đều phải trải qua giai đoạn này mới đạt được thành công trong sự nghiệp hay uy tín của các cuộc thi quốc tế. Tuy nhiên, đa số các học sinh thường nhìn thấy các ưu điểm bề ngoài, mà lại chóng quên rằng, ở trường lớp, họ còn phải học nhiều thứ khác bị cho là khô khan, không dễ thuộc lòng. Chẳng hạn như trường Bélliard có mở lớp đào tạo về các điều kiện vệ sinh, từ chuyện lau chùi trong bếp cho đến bảo quản thực phẩm. Khóa đào tạo kéo dài trong nhiều kỳ này là một lớp học bắt buộc, nếu không học thì thí sinh sẽ không nhận được bằng cấp. Tại Pháp, để có được bằng CAP của một trường dạy nghề, bạn phải theo học một số lớp đào tạo nhất định (thường là 400 giờ trong hai năm). Vì vậy, nghề nấu ăn hay làm bánh nếu muốn có bằng cấp, cần có sự đào tạo bài bản, chứ không thể học cấp tốc từ xa hay chỉ được xem qua các video hướng dẫn trên TikTok. Một công việc càng đòi hỏi tay nghề và kỹ thuật thành thạo, lại càng cần có người tận tâm chỉ dẫn chứ không thể học từ xa. Khái niệm thi đua cạnh tranh rất quan trọng trong các trường đào tạo dạy nghề, vì đó là động lực nâng trình độ của toàn bộ lớp học lên một mức cao hơn. Ở đây, trường chúng tôi phân biệt ba nhóm đối tượng khác nhau : có những người chỉ giỏi nấu ăn, có người chỉ chuyên về điều hành êkíp nhân viên, còn nhóm người thứ ba giỏi về mặt kinh doanh, biết huy động vốn để làm chủ nhà hàng. Cả ba đối tượng này đều có một vai trò quan trọng, tuy vậy trường chúng tôi tập trung vào việc nhóm đầu tiên, mà thuật ngữ chuyên ngành gọi là « những bàn tay nhỏ bé », nguồn nhân viên này rất cần thiết trong tất cả các nhà hàng và khách sạn, các ngành dịch vụ này rất cần đến những nhân viên như vậy, trước khi nghĩ tới chuyện tuyển nhân viên có tay nghề chuyên môn hay cao hơn. Đối với nhiều người học việc, miễn là họ có ý chí và nỗ lực, họ có thể tiến rất xa. Họ có thể bắt đầu làm việc ở cấp bậc thấp nhất, nhưng nhờ có ý chí vươn lên mà sau đó trở thành giám đốc điều hành nhiều quán ăn trong cùng một tập đoàn". Đọc thêmSách hướng dẫn miễn phí các quán ăn Pháp với giá phải chăngCũng theo ông Pascal Maillou, hiệu trưởng trường dạy nghề Bélliard, hàng năm trường đào tạo khoảng 600 học sinh đến từ 40 nước khác nhau. Các khóa đào tạo đều là dài hạn từ hai đến ba năm. Một khi ra trường, các học sinh tại Pháp đều nắm các kỹ thuật căn bản, nhưng sau đó họ phải còn tự trau dồi thêm vì ngay cả ở Pháp, sau khi họ được tuyển dụng, họ phải biết thích nghi, mỗi nhà hàng quán ăn đều có thực đơn riêng, cung cách phục vụ cũng khác biệt. Theo đầu bếp Lorna Boboua Do Sacramento, làm việc cho công ty Onomo, tình trạng thiếu hụt nhân viên khiến các tập đoàn quốc tế trong ngành dịch vụ khách sạn nhà hàng luôn nhức đầu với vấn đề tuyển dụng, nhất là vào những mùa cao điểm. "Quả thật là có một sự thiếu hụt nhân viên và ở đây tôi muốn phân biệt nhiều trường hợp khác nhau, trước hết có những bạn trẻ muốn đốt giai đoạn : họ quan tâm đến nhiều các mạng xã hội, họ ngưỡng mộ sự thành công của những đầu bếp trứ danh và họ nghĩ rằng họ cũng muốn làm như vậy, chỉ có điều là họ nhìn vào thành quả mà lại ít có ý thức về quá trình và tất cả những nỗ lực làm việc để đạt được thành quả đó. Bên cạnh đó, còn có những bạn trẻ được đào tạo bài bản qua trường lớp, nhưng một khi được tuyển dụng rồi, thì họ cần được học lại vài khóa để thích nghi với môi trường công việc. Ở trường lớp các bạn học cách nấu ăn, kỹ thuật chế biến, nhưng khi vào đời phải học thêm tính năng động, linh hoạt : từ các cú va chạm mà học thêm cách tùy cơ ứng biến". Dù hàng năm, có khá nhiều thực tập sinh tốt nghiệp, nhưng các trường đào tạo ở Pháp vẫn chưa đủ để giải quyết tình trạng thiếu hụt nhân viên có tay nghề. Các trường dạy nghề chuyên về ẩm thực đều đang ở trên đà phát triển mạnh chừng nào tại Pháp vẫn còn nhiều nghịch lý trong ngành dịch vụ khách sạn nhà hàng : chỗ làm tại các hàng quán thì nhiều, nhưng nhân viên có tay nghề thực thụ dường như lúc nào cũng thiếu.

For the most part, the star cluster NGC 2281 has escaped the attention of astronomers. It hasn’t been studied in a lot of depth over the years. So many of its details haven’t really been locked down. So far, astronomers have cataloged more than 200 stars in the cluster. And they’ve ruled out many more stars that happen to line up in the same direction. That makes NGC 2281 a fairly puny cluster. The cluster’s distance is a bit uncertain as well. Measurements have been getting better in recent years, thanks in part to the Gaia space telescope. It’s obtained precise details on several of the stars in the cluster, including their distance. Those observations put NGC 2281 at more than 1700 light-years. And its age is still debated, too. Estimates in recent years have ranged from about 275 million to 630 million years. Various studies have used different techniques to plot the age. That includes the types of stars found in the cluster, the number of dead stars, and even how fast the Sun-like stars in the cluster spin; stars slow down as they age. NGC 2281 is in Auriga the charioteer, in the west-northwest as night falls. The “twins” of Gemini stand to its upper left, with the brilliant star Capella farther to its lower right. Under clear, dark skies, it’s visible to the unaided eye as a hazy patch of light – a star cluster that we’re still getting to know. Script by Damond Benningfield

IS DARK MATTER FROM BEFORE THE BIG BANG? 4/8: The Elephant in the Universe: Our Hundred-Year Search for Dark Matter by  Govert Schilling  (Author), Avi Loeb  (Foreword) https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a64379333/dark-matter-older-than-universe/ https://www.amazon.com/Elephant-Universe-Hundred-Year-Search-Matter/dp/0674248996 In The Elephant in the Universe, Govert Schilling explores the fascinating history of the search for dark matter. Evidence for its existence comes from a wealth of astronomical observations. Theories and computer simulations of the evolution of the universe are also suggestive: they can be reconciled with astronomical measurements only if dark matter is a dominant component of nature. Physicists have devised huge, sensitive instruments to search for dark matter, which may be unlike anything else in the cosmos―some unknown elementary particle. Yet so far dark matter has escaped every experiment. Indeed, dark matter is so elusive that some scientists are beginning to suspect there might be something wrong with our theories about gravity or with the current paradigms of cosmology. Schilling interviews both believers and heretics and paints a colorful picture of the history and current status of dark matter research, with astronomers and physicists alike trying to make sense of theory and observation. 2016 NGC 24

A listener asks why NGC doesn't observe Ash Wednesday or Lent, given their background in a church that did. In this episode, we discuss how we approach the church calendar—using it when helpful but not feeling bound by tradition. Is Lent something Christians should observe? Can it be beneficial? We break it all down.Contact us at podcast@tobethechurch.comSocial Media:Instagram.com/tobethechurchfacebook.com/tobethechurchyoutube.com/tobethechurch

A busy galaxy is puffing out material like a factory smokestack. The “plume” is 20,000 light-years long, and it contains enough gas to make 50 million stars as massive as the Sun. NGC 4383 is about 60 million light-years away. It’s a member of the Virgo Cluster – a collection of hundreds of galaxies. Like our home galaxy, the Milky Way, NGC 4383 is a spiral. Bright “arms” of hot, young stars wrap around the galaxy’s heart. The galaxy is a hotbed of star formation – it’s giving birth to thousands of stars. Many of them are especially hot and massive. They blow strong winds of hot gas. And when they die, they explode, creating an even heavier flow. That flow pushes the gas that’s around the stars, creating the powerful “chimney.” Gas in that outflow moves at an average of about 670,000 miles per hour. And every year, enough gas is added to make two more Suns. All that activity reduces the amount of gas available to make more stars. So eventually, the outflow of gas will shut down the stellar nursery in this busy galaxy. Although it’s a member of the Virgo Cluster, NGC 4383 is located within the borders of Coma Berenices. The constellation is low in the east in early evening. It consists of a faint spray of sparkly stars, although you need dark skies to see them. You need a telescope to see NGC 4383.

Dying stars are among the most beautiful objects in the universe. They create colorful bubbles that can glow for thousands of years. And depending on our viewing angle, they can look like a butterfly, a cat’s eye, an hourglass, or other fanciful forms. An example is NGC 3242. It’s known as the Eye Nebula, or the Ghost of Jupiter Nebula for its resemblance to the giant planet. In fact, because they look like planets, such objects are known as planetary nebulas. They form when a Sun-like star reaches the end of its life. The star no longer produces nuclear reactions in its core, so the core collapses and becomes extremely hot. The radiation pushes away the surrounding layers of gas. They flow out into space, forming a nebula. In the Ghost of Jupiter, the nebula consists of several shells of gas. They were expelled at different times, and they’re moving at different speeds. When a faster shell overtakes a slower one, the material heats up and emits X-rays. Over time, the nebula spreads out and cools, so it fades away. The star at the center of the Ghost of Jupiter is hundreds or thousands of times brighter than the Sun. Soon, though, it will fade as well, becoming a hot but faint corpse – a white dwarf. The Ghost of Jupiter is in Hydra, the water snake. The nebula climbs into view, in the southeast, by about 9 o’clock. Under dark skies, it’s just visible through binoculars, and an easy target for telescopes. Script by Damond Benningfield

The stars in the open cluster NGC 6253 contain abnormally large amounts of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, and no one is quite certain why.

The Big Dipper is low in the northeast at nightfall, ready to climb high across the north during the night. The prominent constellations Gemini and Orion are far to its upper right. But the space between them looks dark and empty. There’s just not much to see – especially from light-polluted cities. In fact, the main feature in the gap is named for its faintness. The constellation Lynx was given its name because you need the sharp eyes of a lynx to see any of its stars. A telescope reveals some impressive sights, though. That includes the galaxy NGC 2273 – a galaxy within a galaxy. It’s about as big and as massive as our own home galaxy, the Milky Way. It has a small, tight spiral in its middle, with a wider spiral around it. A supermassive black hole inhabits the galaxy’s heart. The black hole produces enormous amounts of radio waves. That tells us the black hole is feeding voraciously. As gas and dust spiral toward the black hole they form a wide, hot disk around it. Some of the material in the disk is funneled into “jets” that shoot into space at almost the speed of light. The jets produce radio waves. The jets and other evidence show that the black hole is about seven and a half million times as massive as the Sun. That’s about twice as heavy as the black hole at the center of the Milky Way – an impressive zone of darkness in a dark region of the night sky. Script by Damond Benningfield

For the casual skywatcher, Camelopardalis, the giraffe, is a dud. Only a few of its stars are visible to the unaided eye, and you need dark skies to see even those. With binoculars, though, you can pick out some nice sights within the giraffe’s borders. One example is Kemble’s Cascade – a string of about 20 stars along the giraffe’s neck. The stars aren’t related – they just happen to line up in the same direction. Near one end of the cascade, though, is a group of several dozen stars that are related: the star cluster NGC 1502. It’s high above Polaris, the North Star, in mid evening. The cluster is a few thousand light-years away, but the exact distance is uncertain. The cluster’s age is uncertain, too, although it’s probably only a few million years. One clue to its age is the types of stars it contains. Many of the stars of NGC 1502 are much bigger, brighter, and hotter than the Sun. Such stars live no more than a few tens of millions of years, compared to billions of years for stars like the Sun. Since quite a few of these stars are still around, the cluster can’t be very old. The brightest member of the cluster is called SZ Cam. It’s a family of six stars, split into three tight pairs. Two of the pairs huddle close together, while the third is much farther out. SZ Cam helps make the cluster worth looking for, in a constellation that’s a little short of skywatching wonders.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 03Parker Solar Probe's Historic JourneyNASA's Parker Solar Probe has made history by becoming the fastest man-made object, surviving a record-breaking close approach to the Sun's surface. The probe, travelling at an unprecedented speed of 155,520 kilometres per hour, flew just 6.1 million kilometres above the Sun, providing invaluable data to help scientists understand the Sun's impacts on the solar system, including Earth. This mission marks a significant achievement in space exploration, shedding light on the Sun's mysterious processes and aiding in the search for habitable worlds beyond our planet.Mystery of Ultra Luminous X-Ray SourcesAstronomers have detected unusual flaring activity in an ultra luminous X-ray source, challenging our understanding of these enigmatic cosmic phenomena. Observations reveal flux variations by up to a factor of six over a few hours, offering new insights into the nature of these powerful sources, which could be linked to feeding supermassive black holes or intermediate mass black holes.Solar Cycle and La Niña ConnectionA new study suggests a possible link between the Sun's 11-year solar cycle and Earth's La Niña weather patterns. The findings indicate that solar variability may drive seasonal weather changes, potentially improving predictions of major climatic events like El Niño and La Niña, which have significant impacts on global weather patterns.January Skywatch00:00 Stuart Gary talks about NASA's Parker Solar Probe and more00:39 NASA's Parker Solar Probe survived its close approach to the sun on December 2405:19 NASA's Parker Solar Probe is 3.8 million miles from the sun10:52 Astronomers studying an ultra luminous X ray source have detected strange flaring activity13:12 Solar variability may be driving seasonal weather variability here on Earth17:19 New study suggests eating more fruits and vegetables could help reduce depression19:35 A much anticipated United States Congressional hearing on UFOs turned out to be flop25:23 A new paper claims that one of the biggest mysteries in science doesn't actually exist35:55 If the universe has an energy field of the right kind, expansion can accelerate42:59 New findings could provide fresh insights into the enigmatic planet's geological history45:50 Scientists have identified a new genetic link to autism spectrum disorder48:29 LG will release a fridge with a transparent OLED door49:35 Nintendo has announced that it will launch its Nintendo Switch by March 31st51:06 Microsoft have announced their own version of Apple's Mac Mini with ARM chips52:25 A new study claims there's evidence for recent volcanic activity on Mars56:11 Astronomers using radio telescope in Western Australia study supernova 1987A01:04:08 What exactly caused 87A to go to a blue super giant phase01:05:12 The long awaited inaugural flight of Sierra Space's Dream Chaser space plane is now expected01:10:34 Canadian scientists compared prevalence and risk of mental disorders between trans and gender diverse people01:12:49 Phoenix, Arizona named as America's top location for UFO sightingswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

A cosmic ornament decorates the night at this time of year. NGC 1300 is too faint to see with the eye alone. But images reveal one of the most beautiful galaxies in the universe. A long “bar” of stars crosses its middle, with ribbons of stars trailing away from the bar’s ends. Barred spirals are becoming more common as the universe ages. About seven billion years ago, only 20 percent of spiral galaxies had bars. But in the modern universe, the fraction goes up to about 65 percent. That includes our home galaxy, the Milky Way. So bars may develop naturally as the galaxies age. The bar funnels gas toward the center of NGC 1300. There, it forms a spiral within a spiral – a disk more than 3,000 light-years across. Some of the gas from the bar pours into a black hole that’s about 75 million times the mass of the Sun – many times the weight of the Milky Way’s black hole. The bar in NGC 1300 is one of the most impressive yet seen. It spans most of the galaxy’s diameter – about a hundred thousand light-years. That’s about the same size as the Milky Way. The stars in the bar are mostly old and yellow. The stars in the spiral arms are younger and bluer. And more stars are being born there – adding to the beauty of this impressive galaxy. NGC 1300 is low in the southeast at nightfall, in the constellation Eridanus, the river. But you need a telescope to see it. Script by Damond Benningfield
