Markarian’s Chain
Markarian’s Chain is a visually striking alignment of galaxies in the Virgo constellation, showcasing a series of gravitationally interacting galaxies, such as Messier 84 and Messier 86. It reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around mid April. …

And here is what a quick reduction of a #Keck echelle spectrum looks like, with the sky emission taken out: this is from a #DwarfGalaxy in the #VirgoCluster observed earlier tonight; the interest here is in the absorption lines.

Yay, I'm going to Hawaii ... and then all the way to the #VirgoCluster!
