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

我们的本团靠近处女座团，两者都是室女座团的一部分。

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

距我们最近的可能以这种方式爆炸的恒是室女座的 Spica，它离我们有100光年远。

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

而银河以及我们本地群中的其他围绕室女座团的一个质心运行。

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，天学家都将我们所在的银河及其周围的与室女座以及近100个其他群归类在一个跨度达1亿光年的级团中。

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.

最近的观测表明，室女座团实际上只是更大的拉尼亚凯亚团的一个附属物，拉尼亚凯亚团可能有10万个，横跨5亿光年。

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，如果你看到一张盘显示射手座升起，你可能会预期中天位于室女座，因为那是射手座前90度的座。

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.

爱因斯坦的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台（LIGO）和室女座探测器（VIRGO）观测到中子碰撞时， 这一现象才得到直接验证。

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的银河之间， 有一个相对空旷的区域，一个蓝空洞， 而紧邻我们的是室女座， 这是一个庞大且密集的团， 其中的大几个世纪以来一直被地球上的观测者所观察。

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的光带，这条光带从地平线的一端延伸到另一端， 其中心焦点称为对日照，正好出现在太阳在室女座位置的正对面。
