All DNA of humans, animals, and plants is impacted by a BINARY RESONANCE PATTERN generated by the two radiation belts;
The Solar Radiation Stream; https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/solar-radiation-basics
and the Cosmic Radiation Stream; https://www.epa.gov/radtown/cosmic-radiation#:~:text=Radiation%20from%20space%20is%20called,radiation%20exposure%20from%20cosmic%20radiation.
They are the Psi Bank. This is the impetus for evolution. Rupert Sheldrake calls resonance, morphic resonance, which is mirroring or mimicry wired into DNA brains to survive. It’s more complicated than that though. Marine animals are experts at mimicry but humans are too. It’s a survival trait in our brains and the reason we follow each other, even though we don’t really agree. We “appear” to follow each other. We pretend we agree to keep ill-willed humans away who emotionally resist differences and could be a social pain in the a.., especially these days. That said, honesty is coming forward now.
The Psi Bank registers the low-level ELM field around the earth that has been detected to weaken and reverse significantly as we speak. This is a NATURAL evolutionary movement that has happened many times in the 14 billion-year history of the earth. It’s caused by SOLAR FORCING and will likely be radical as prophecies by many cultures and religions and assessed by NASA and other scientists indicate. Our DNA evolving with the earth, the other planets, and our sun is no joke. Our society is about to change radically.
The Sun, like the Earth, is SENTIENT. It has a mind of its own in relation to the Source. They also have free will just as we do, so OUR MINDS are in a relationship with THEIR MINDS. None of this is random. We are all in destiny patterns regulated by the Tzolkin which I ask you to pay attention to with one of the apps and this blog daily so you know what’s going on and are not reliant on MSM.
The details and speed of how things unfold are up to life on the planet as a collective. The animals and plants are domestic and community-oriented just as we are. They also feel pain and joy and care for their young ones so they have much to deal with as well as things change. Keep in mind that they have seniority as far as time on the planet. They were all here before we were but it’s apparent to me that they like us for the most part. We have a great bond on earth with the plants and animals and we help each other. I hope we keep our awareness of the web of life going into the future.
Schumann-Resonance.org
The Schumann resonances (SR) are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earthโs electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, generated and excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earthโs surface and the ionosphere.
Why Put Them in an App? The Schumann resonances are tied to an elevation in human consciousness. When there are spikes in activity people have noticed a change in behavior. The apps have been created in order to allow for people to easily check the status of the Schumann on their phones. This is just an easy-check of where the levels are.
I guess those of us keeping an eye on this aren’t crazy or cultists. We just know the changes mean something dynamic about our evolution caused by THE SUN and Source. Heads up…or heads in the sand.
We need to focus on what we DO want instead of reacting and focusing our minds on what we don’t want. Denial of their agenda? You bet. Focus your attention on what you want to be helpful on the planet. Take your body and destiny clues from what I’ve taught you on here.
“Officials Confirm Several Geomagnetic Storms Are Hitting Earth This Week” https://www.sciencealert.com/solar-storms-are-lashing-earth-and-you-re-going-to-be-fine/amp



The answer is in the Fifth Density GForce which is also an amino acid protein. It came to me last night. In addition, the synchronicity is that it is always the tribe right before your Hidden Wisdom, the same tone. That tells me there are some family lessons or Mother issues tied to the 5GForce. I’ll explore this as I post on the body holon daily.
We’re way past religion, and even in religion it teaches the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. People skip right over that and cleave to the c+_)(church teaching that we are sinners, need a blood sacrifice, deserve to suffer, need absolution and atonement, and are born sinners no matter what. That’s all incorrect and has been for thousands of years. The Time Thieves run the Catholic Church. What really gets me is when White Dog dharmic teacher kin who are the prime teachers of love and healing like J.C., don’t remember who they are because they aren’t aware of analog kin Red Moon students (flow of feelings and empathy) to jog their memory. Instead, they cleave to religion or addiction and aren’t helping on the planet.
For instance, today’s 5GForce is Red 1 Magnetic Serpent of 1Serine. The Occult Partner/Hidden Wisdom today is 1Threonine or White 1 Magnetic Worldbridger. Red Serpent is Tribe#5 and White World-Bridger is Tribe#6 so there ya have it. The same thing will happen tomorrow and the next day.
It also pulses off of the antipode sometimes. Today’s antipode is Red 13 Serpent. With the 5GForce of Red 1 Serpent, it becomes occult energy because it adds up to 14. The upshot is we are all under the influence today of transforming physical passion and lust to love. Our sexual bonding needs to be loving in addition to lustful. That means your heart chakra needs to be humming.
Get some Reiki if need be. I do long-distance healing alignment in addition to in-person. If it isn’t humming, get the meditation going or do some soul searching and remain celibate until it is humming. If I can do it you can. I’m very into the body and I talk about it often and do it for my career. Talk about loosh energy for the Reptilians. Look at the synchronicity between Red Serpent being passion and the Reptilians being a negative force for humans!!
Another example is my 5GForce is 1Isoleucine or Blue 1 Magnetic Hand. My hands are literally magnetic in my office when I work on people. My clients say my hands feel like magic and I can feel it too! That’s my higher self, God in me for my own healing and for my patients! I’m right in my destiny where I’m supposed to be. It’s indicated in my astrology chart as well with my Venus in Pisces where Venus is exalted, in Capricorn (my career). Now pulse that with the fact that my Mom is Blue Hand and is also a therapist. There’s the reason I came through her onto the planet. She pulses also with all of my lessons around my Hidden Wisdom which is Yellow 1 Star.
Absolutely look at your birth gateway, the Hidden Wisdom, and the 5GForce. It will lead you right where Source needs you to be of service for yourself and others. If you have any questions about it, e-mail me. I can help you clarify.

Iโve had several requests asking how to read the Schumann Resonance (SR) chart Iโve been posting. I use the SR monitoring at the Space Observing System at Tomsk Science University, located in Siberia. Let me first note that the following suggestions are not any official guidelines from the SOS. They are my personal observations and practices. I have read these charts for several years.
The SR website is: http://sosrff.tsu.ru/?page_id=7
Here is a sample chart you can refer to. But first, a definition of the Schumann Resonance: โThe Schumann resonances (SR) are a set of spectrum peaks. These peaks are in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earthโs electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances. Lightning discharges generate and excite them in the cavity formed by the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere.
In the normal mode descriptions of Schumann resonances, the fundamental mode is a standing wave in the Earth-ionosphere cavity. Its wavelength is equal to the circumference of the Earth.โ (Wikipedia)
(Lisa wrote this part); The date at the top is 10/3/22. We write it 3/10/22 so it’s today. It starts at 14:00 hours Siberia time which is 2 PM so adjust that for your time zone. I’m in the U.S. EST. Minus 11 hours, it occurred at 3 am this morning. My brain woke straight awake. I had to drink some warm milk to get back to sleep. It contains tryptophan which makes you sleepy.
Today it looks to me like it was in the 15-24Hz range. You can see it if you follow the light green all the way to the bottom. We are easily getting Beta blasted today. This is very high for our brains. It is close to Gamma, which is related to bursts of rational insight and ideas. The intuitive insight which I hum in all the time is Theta. Every day I’m between theta and alpha. Alpha means your eyes are open and you’re conscious of the 4D hologram. Theta is a meditative state. I think beta and gamma states mean you’re too hyped up on coffee or sugar. You might be bouncing off the walls. When the SR gets to that level you need to calm yourself down with rest, herbs, tea, and meditation.
DATES: Look at the top of the chart. Youโll see that the chart divides into three-day sequences, with the dates printed across the top horizontal of the chart. Dates move left to right, most recent on the right.
TIMES: Next, look at the bottom of the chart. Youโll see the times. They present in a 0-24 hour sequence. There is one block of 24 hours for each corresponding date above. The chart uses local Tomsk (Siberia) time which is GMT+7. Youโll need to convert the chart times to your local time.
Iโm in the US, so the equivalents here are United States Conversions:
Now, look at the left vertical side of the chart. These numbers provide a framework for reading. They show the Schumann Resonance peak values in Hertz levels (like the Tzolkin). The lowest values start at the top. They progress to the highest at the bottom in increments of 4Hz. SR frequencies are relatively stable and do not change. Also, there is not just one SR frequency, but an array of peak frequencies. The SR values cover a range from 3 Hz to 60 Hz, with set values at intervals roughly 6.5 Hz apart, except for the lowest value, 4.11.
Different authorities post slightly different values for the SR peaks. Here are the rounded-off SR peak values pretty much agreed upon universally: 4, 7.83 (fundamental SR), 14, 20, 26, 33, 39, 45, 59. All measured in Hz or cycles per second. The SR frequencies are read ACROSS or HORIZONTALLY, usually in the green intensity shade.
You can easily track a specific frequency through the 3-day cycle. Youโll see that the green lines typically indicate at the 7.83, 14, 20, and 26 Hz frequencies. Other frequencies youโll see, less frequently, are the lowest, 4 Hz, and 33 Hz and higher.
Hereโs the cool part: These Schumann Resonance ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) waves are in the Earthโs magnetic field. They overlap with the electrical patterns. These patterns are the “brain waves” observed across the cortex of the human brain. Studies have shown that SR frequencies have particular effects on the human brain and nervous system. They also affect the cardiovascular system. The autonomous nervous system, circadian rhythms, immune function, DNA, and more are influenced too.
The fundamental Schumann Resonance, 7.83 Hz, corresponds to the high theta of the human brainwave range. Human brainwaves and SR correspondences:
*There are differing opinions among authorities as to the demarcation between the upper limit of beta and the onset of gamma brainwaves. Some cite 25 Hz, others 40 Hz. Most seem to cite 30 Hz. Just know that the upper value is a bit fluid.
Intensity readings go from lowest blue (background intensity) to green to yellow to white (highest). Typical SR readings are in the green range. IMPORTANT: The SR is read HORIZONTALLY, so youโll be looking at the green horizontal lines. (Do not consider the VERTICAL white lines or white โsplashesโ as SR readings.) VERTICAL WHITE LINES/SPLASHES: So, what ARE those vertical WHITE lines or wider splashes?
In general, they represent energy bursts or ionospheric plasma excitations. (THE PSI BANK EMANATIONS-Lisa T.) For the most part, the electromagnetic (ELM) bursts are probably lightning-related or TLE-related. Lightning (Blue Storm tribe; Tryptophan) is THE major driver of the SR. Electromagnetic bursts have often been found to be sprites. Sprites are a type of lightning phenomena that occurs high in the atmosphere. Now, many of the Schumann resonances transients (Q bursts) are thought to be connected to transient luminous events (TLEs).
In 1995 Boccippio et al.[38] showed that sprites, the most common TLE, are produced by positive cloud-to-ground lightning. It occurs in the stratiform region of a thunderstorm system. They are accompanied by Q-burst in the Schumann resonances band.โ (Wikipedia) Transient luminous events (TLEs) are upper atmosphere electrical discharges such as sprites, ELVES, and jets. To read more about transient luminous events, hereโs a good article, with photos: https://weather.com/news/news/transient-luminous-events-mysteries-sky-20130731
In addition to intense lightning and TLEs, plasma excitations could also be caused by: โ intense thunderstorm โ solar activity (e.g. solar winds, CMEs, solar flares) โ geomagnetic disturbances (resulting from solar activity) โ some speculate HAARP and scalar weapons discharges may affect the SR โ energy bursts of unknown origin EFFECT OF ENERGY BURSTS ON SR READINGS:
When ionospheric plasma gets excited, the SR waves at various resonances can get excited, as well. Youโll often see a wider, โpuffierโ green color displayed behind, around, or following an energy burst. You may see the โexcitationโ activate the higher SR values that correspond with the brainโs higher beta and gamma frequencies. I often call these the โtransformation waves.โ
Energy bursts can also trigger the low 4.11 Hz SR and the fundamental 7.83 Hz that correspond to our theta brainwave. This wave is incredibly transforming, as well. Itโs been called the โmiracle waveโ for its deep healing, calming, and rebalancing qualities; theta accesses the subconscious mind. These energy bursts first started happening back in 2014. The human monitors at the Space Observing System at Tomsk Science University initially suspected an equipment malfunction. They initially thought it had caused the anomaly. But upon checking, they realized that the equipment was fine. It had, indeed, recorded SR values in a higher range not seen before. But as to the origin of the spikes, they had no answers.
A SPECULATIVE OBSERVATION: When these plasma spikes occur, humans might be receiving a double impact. The SR frequencies resonate with our brain waves (theta, alpha, beta, and gamma). We also feel the effects of the ionospheric energy bursts themselves. For those who are energy-sensitive, these plasmic excitation’s or energy disturbances may be felt or sensed. Sensitives can ‘feel’ phenomena like geomagnetic storming, distant earthquakes, or volcanoes. They can also sense the full moon’s magnetic pull or incoming photonic or cosmic energies.
Back to the Schumann Resonance:
โEvery second, a multitude of pulses travel around the world in this unique, resonant chamber between Earth and the ionosphere, sending colluding signals to all microorganisms. These signals couple us to the Earthโs magnetic field. Named after their discoverer, these Schumann Resonances (SR) drive the harmonizing pulse for life in our world.โ

“Borealis (2020) – IMDb” https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11650358/
This is a phenomenal hour and a half documentary shot in Canada. It’s gorgeous…until it gets to the end of a Tzolkin cycle and humans come in and act like they are smarter than nature. You’ll see the cut off point.
What I want you to watch for is how it starts with the aurora borealis which is the psi bank emanating through the hologram into the earth’s magnetosphere from the Sun and Galactic Center.
Now back to natural manifestation into 4D of each amino acid or Mayan tribe. It starts with 19-0, Blue Storm to the fire of the Sun and the lightning hits the boreal forest and much of this huge natural growth forest burns up manifesting Dragon fire. It’s so huge it starts its own weather, pyrocumulus, and WIND with it to continue the process.
The fire has released the abundance of BLUE NIGHT nutrients that lie dormant in the soil and everything greens up from the seeds (YELLOW SEED) being released.
Now we’re on the forest floor, (RED SERPENT) and the roots wend their way through the forest floor like a snake and deliver earth magic to the plants. The old burned forest has to accept their death and the forest changes (White WB)
They show you how the forest heals and accomplishes much for the community of species (BLUE HAND) in cooperation with each other. They’ve achieved harmony and beauty creatively and we see natural art (YELLOW STAR).
The rains come, there is a natural flow to the sentience of what the forest wants to become. This section is exquisite as its moves from RED MOON to WHITE DOG. They show and describe the companionship and help that forest species give to one another.
Now the forest is growing, diversifying, and magical, good humans come in and participate in and respect the nature of things and we see the best side of YELLOW HUMAN.
Now they show the trees reaching to the sky with a panoply of stars in the galaxy and we see that RED SKYWALKER has created movement on earth that prophecies timelessness in WIZARD humans with a CNS walking through the forest.
The scene changes and humans are in the picture now. The eagles and all avian species are vital and play a specific role in how the forest lives and breathes (BLUE EAGLE).
They show how species compete with each other and have to deal with nemesis and hindrances to make them more intelligent (YELLOW WARRIOR) until they reach balance and synchronicity (RED EARTH). They literally use the word synchronicity.
From Red Earth, we sit for a long white period in White Mirror because there is no dragon fire lightning coming. The birch trees turn white for protection and the peat moss turns white to create permafrost. The forest is sort of deteriorating or meditating on its next phase.
The smarter humans now bring their machine world of A.I. clear-cutting and I’ll let you surmise the rest which brings us where we are today; the precipice.
Make me want to hurl.

In a recent paper from Lund University in Malmo, Sweden, Markus Alden, is the first to describe with his team of investigators reverse transcription of mRNA from the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech. The world is scrambling to understand the findings and what they mean to the large number of unquestioning souls who have taken one of the four genetic vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, Janssen, AstraZeneca).
In brief, the mRNA was introduced into a hepatic cell line, and the assembly of base pairs of DNA for a portion of the mRNA was demonstrated, and then this code was subsequently found in the nucleus. The liver cell line is important since the liver is where a large number of circulatory proteins are produced, such as albumin and blood clotting factors.

Jim was my husband Dave’s best friend when he was alive. They are both great jazz musicians.
A matching genome is fairly easy to find on earth throughout all animal and plant species because we’re all part of the web of life, related to one another, including the E.T. Also, humans would not exist without the direct contribution of reptiles and birds in the genome which came from E.T. Mammals evolved from them. And most of the plants on the planet were here before we were. Ferns are an example. They are ancient. There used to be huge fern forests on Earth.
Scientists know that DNA variance among even potatoes and people is slim. But potatoes aren’t sentient, that we know of, (potato smarts?) but we are. So what is creating the difference between species if not DNA? A: Evolving tRNA (transfer RNA) that is dynamic due to free will and changes daily according to the oracles that I cite on this blog.
When I note which amino acid tRNA molecules are moving every day, it’s the first time they are moving that way in the current time. They move the way they do every 260 days but because we are changing due to our own choices, (Yellow Human free will), the tRNA which turns into DNA in the nucleus is never read the same way. Thus our kids are impossible to fathom for us parents. They incarnate in groups with agreed-upon agendas. That much I see in generational groups and the astrologers see it also.
A person born on White 13 Wind in 2022 is not the same as a person born in 2019 as White 13 Wind. The Oracle takes care of sprocketing the 365-day solar year with the 260-day galactic spin. The birthday of the person in 2019 is different than the one in 2022, thus their interplanetary astrological line-up is different, and their personality is different. That’s 4D. Things do level out and start matching up in your Mayan Oracle themeplex because we’re dealing with the upper densities of existence, past DNA with the Oracle.

Since being identified in people in 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has gone on to infect a wide range of animal species, wild and domestic. Concerns abound that these species jumps could lead to novel mutations and even harmful new variants.
In a new report, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine and Perelman School of Medicine found that, for at least one example of apparent interspecies transmission, this crossing the species boundary did not cause the virus to gain a significant number of mutations.
Writing in the journal Viruses, the scientists identified a domestic house cat, treated at Penn Vet’s Ryan Hospital, that was infected with the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 subsequent to exposure from its owner. The full genome sequence of the virus was a close match to viral sequences circulating in people in the Philadelphia region at the time.
“SARS-CoV-2 has a really incredibly wide host range,” says Elizabeth Lennon, senior author on the work, a veterinarian, and assistant professor at Penn Vet. “What this means to me is that, as SARS-CoV-2 continues to be prevalent in the human population, we need to watch what’s happening in other animal species as well.”
The find is the first published example of the delta variant occurring in a domestic cat in the United States. Notably, the cat’s infection was only identified by testing its fecal matter. A nasal swab did not result in a positive test.
“This did highlight the importance of sampling at multiple body sites,” says Lennon. “We wouldn’t have detected this if we had just done a nasal swab.”
Lennon and colleagues have been sampling dogs and cats for SARS-CoV-2 since early in the pandemic. This particular pet cat, an 11-year-old female, was brought to Ryan Hospital in September with gastrointestinal symptoms. It had been exposed to an owner who had COVID-19โthough that owner had been isolated from the cat for 11 days prior to its hospitalization, another household member doing the cat care in the interim.
Working through the Penn Center for Research on Coronaviruses and Other Emerging Pathogens and Perelman School of Medicine microbiologist Frederic Bushman’s laboratory, the team obtained a whole-genome sequence of the cat’s virus.
Sequencing revealed the delta variant, more specifically, the AY.3 lineage. The researchers did not have a sample from the infected owner. Comparing the sequence to the database kept by the Bushman laboratory, however, the cat’s virus was nothing out of the ordinary in terms of the sequences of SARS-CoV-2 circulating in the Delaware Valley region at the time.
“When we looked at a random sampling of human sequences from our geographic area, there wasn’t anything dramatically different about our cat’s sample,” Lennon says. “So, our takeaway was that the cat was not infected by a virus that was somehow highly different.”
Not all variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been equally able to infect a wide range of hosts. For example, the original Wuhan strain could not naturally infect mice; later variants gained that ability. Scientists began seeing infections in cats and dogs from the early days of the pandemic, presumably infected through close contact with their owners.
“The main takeaway here is that as different variants of SARS-CoV-2 emerge, they seem to be retaining the ability to infect a wide range of species,” Lennon says.
While this particular case does not raise alarms for the virus acquiring significant numbers of mutations as it moved between species, Lennon and colleagues, including Bushman and Susan Weiss of Penn’s medical school, hope to continue studying other examples to see how SARS-CoV-2 evolves. Penn Vet’s Institute for Infectious and Zoonotic Disease will facilitate this look at human-animal interactions when it comes to pathogen transmission.
“We know that the SARS-CoV-2 is undergoing changes as it passes between to become more and more transmissible over time,” says Lennon. “We saw that with the omicron variant. It’s host-adapting to people. We also want to know, when other animal species get infected, does the virus start to adapt to those species? And for those viruses that may adapt to a different species, do they still infect humans?”

Our own Moon has one of the largest preserved craters in the Solar System, the South Pole-Aitken Basin, located on the far side of the satellite. The area is at the center of many investigations, with various orbiters and even the Chinese lander Changโe-4 studying the region.
Now, researchers have discovered something anomalous underneath its surface. Planetary scientists have discovered a structure that weighs 2.18 billion billion kilograms and stretches for more than 300 kilometers (186 miles) in depth. As reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the team suggests the mass might be from the asteroid that formed the crater.
“Imagine taking a pile of metal five times larger than the Big Island of Hawaii and burying it underground. That’s roughly how much unexpected mass we detected,” lead author Peter B. James, from Baylor University, said in a statement.
The discovery was possible thanks to NASAโs Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, which measures subtle changes in the gravitational field of the Moon. These observations can be used to study the internal composition of our natural satellite.
As it turns out, the mass they measured is enough to weigh the entire basin floor downward by almost a kilometer (more than half a mile). Given that the crater is roughly 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) in diameter, thatโs quite the pull.
“When we combined that with lunar topography data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, we discovered the unexpectedly large amount of mass hundreds of miles underneath the South Pole-Aitken basin,” James said. “One of the explanations of this extra mass is that the metal from the asteroid that formed this crater is still embedded in the Moon’s mantle.”
The team ran computer simulations to explain the anomaly. It is possible that when the asteroid hit roughly 4 billion years ago, it remained embedded in the mantle rather than sinking into the core. An alternative explanation centers on the solidification of the Moon, suggesting that the concentration of dense oxides might have formed as the magma ocean cooled and settled.
Interest in the South Pole-Aitken Basin from various space agencies is due to how special it is. The region can be used both to understand the interior composition of the Moon as well as to study its history. It is also the best laboratory to study what a catastrophic impact on the surface of a rocky planet would look like.

The shape of galaxies and how they evolve depending on a web of cosmological filaments that run across the universe. According to a recent study headed by EPFL’s Laboratory of Astrophysics, this cosmic web plays a much bigger role than previously thought.
Across the universe, galaxies are distributed along what’s called the cosmic web, a complex network of filaments made up of ordinary and dark matter. And where those filaments intersect, galaxy clustersโcollections of hundreds or even thousands of galaxies bound to each other by the force of gravityโtend to form. They are the biggest and densest clusters in the universe and are the subject of much research by astrophysicists. But precisely how filaments contribute to galactic evolution is still poorly understood.
To get deeper insight, an international team of scientists led by Prof. Pascale Jablonka and Gianluca Castignani from EPFL’s Laboratory of Astrophysics (LASTRO) examined the vast environment surrounding Virgo, a representative cluster in the local universe. It contains some 1,500 galaxies and is located around 65 million light-years away from our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The team’s findings have been published in two articles: one appearing in Astronomy & Astrophysics this past January and the other in Astrophysical Journal last fall.
“Many properties of galaxies, like their morphology, gas content, and star formation rate, are directly influenced by their environment,” says Jablonka. “We know that galaxies form fewer stars in very dense environments and adopt a more elliptical shape. But the exact role that filaments play in this transformation is still not clear. That’s what we wanted to investigate with our research.”
The scientists analyzed the properties of galaxies located around the Virgo cluster, across a region spanning 12 times the radius of the main cluster. Theirs is the largest study conducted to date on this topic and covers a sample size of some 7,000 galaxies, including 250 that are big enough for scientists to be able to precisely estimate their gas contentโand especially the amount of cold, dense atomic hydrogen that stars are made out of. Measurements were taken using the decametric radio telescope in Nanรงay, France, and the IRAM-30m telescope in Pico Veleta, Spain.
A transitional environment
By combining the new data they collected with measurements from the literature, the scientists found that the properties of galaxiesโnamely, their shape, star formation rate, gas content, and the age and metal content of their starsโclearly change as the galaxies progress from more isolated positions towards filaments and eventually into clusters.
Filaments, therefore, seem to serve as a transitional environment where galaxies are pre-processed before falling into a cluster. In this environment, star formation slows or even stops altogether, elliptical shapes appear more frequently, and there is less atomic and molecular hydrogen, indicating that the galaxies are reaching the end of their active life. The scientists observed that a galaxy’s evolution through its life cycle corresponds to the local galaxy density: galaxies producing few or no stars made up less than 20% of the sample of isolated galaxies, but they accounted for 20โ60% of galaxies in the filaments and some 80% of galaxies in the Virgo cluster. These findings open up new avenues of research on theories to explain galaxy formation and how galaxies evolve in tandem with major cosmic bodies.
