Our Local Group is near the Virgo Cluster, and both are part of the Virgo Supercluster.

我们本星系靠近处女座星系，都是室女座超星系一部分。

The nearest star that might explode in this way is Spica, in Virgo, and it's well over 100 light years away.

距我们最近可能以这种方式爆炸恒星是室女座 Spica，它离我们有100光年远。

Recent observations indicate the Virgo Supercluster is actually only an appendage of the even larger Laniakea Supercluster, which may have 100,000 galaxies in it stretching across 500 million light years.

最近观测表明，室女座超星系实际上只是更大尼亚凯亚超星系一个附属物，尼亚凯亚超星系可能有10万个星系，横跨5亿光年。

This dust is illuminated by  the sun and forms a band of light known as the Zodiacal light, which spans from horizon  to horizon featuring a central focus called the gegenschein, appearing directly  opposite the sun's position over Virgo.

这些尘埃被太阳照亮， 形成了一条被称为黄道光光带，这条光带从地平线一端延伸到另一端， 其中心焦点称为对日照，正好出现在太阳在室女座正对面。

Between the Great Attractor and us, the Milky Way, there's a relatively empty area, a blue void, and next to us is Virgo, a large and dense cluster whose large galaxies have been observed from Earth for centuries.

在巨引源和我们所在银河系之间， 有一个相对空旷区域，一个蓝空洞， 而紧邻我们是室女座， 这是一个庞大且密集星系， 其中大星系几个世纪以来一直被地球上观测所观察。

Einstein's theory of general relativity predicted this phenomenon over 100 years ago, but it wasn't directly verified until 2017, when gravitational wave observatories LIGO and VIRGO observed a neutron star collision.

爱因斯坦广义相对论在一百多年前就预言了这一现象，但直到2017年，激光干涉仪引力波天文台（LIGO）和室女座探测器（VIRGO）观测到中子星碰撞时， 这一现象才得到直接验证。

For example, if you see a chart with, say, Sagittarius rising, you kind of expect that the Midheaven will be in Vervo, because that's the sign 90 degrees before Sagittarius.

例如，如果你看到一张星盘显示射手座升起，你可能会预期中天于室女座，因为那是射手座前90度星座。

And the Milky Way and the rest of our local group of galaxies orbit a barycenter in the Virgo Supercluster.

而银河系以及我们本地星系群中其他星系围绕室女座超星一个质心运行。

Until now, astronomers grouped us, the Milky Way and its surrounding galaxies, with Virgo and nearly 100 other clusters in a supercluster that stretches 100,000,000 lightyears across.

直到现在，天文学家都将我们所在银河系及其周围星系与室女座以及近100个其他星系群归类在一个跨度达1亿光年超级星系中。
