Local Galactic Group Flag

Local Galactic Group Flag

or Rather the Hubble Bubble Group

This is the flag of our Local Galactic Group, commonly called the Local Group. Our group has three major galaxies in it, Triangulum, Andromeda and us - the Milky Way.

The central galaxy on the white disc is the Milky Way. It seems that our galaxy is the biggest of the three main players. The galaxy on the orange disc represents Andromeda our fraternal twin - so to speak. The green disc's galaxy represents Triangulum. The two smaller yellow galaxies represent smaller satellite galaxies and other puffs of stars that are on their own. The crossing over of the orange and green discs with the white Milky Way disc created a red and blue shift overlap, in honor of Ed Hubble's discovery of the red-blue Doppler shift in astronomy. His magnificent recognition of a red and blue shifts, gave us a basic picture of cosmic geography in the early 20th century.

An easy way to remember the meaning of colours is that Milk is white for Milky Way, Orange and Andromeda both have the hidden 'jzz' sound, and their is a hard G in Green and Trian-G-ulum.

with his cosmic peace pipe

There are about 30 galaxies in our Local Group, within 10 light years.

You can thank a man from Missouri for coining our local hub of galaxies as the Local Group - Edwin Hubble. Mr. Hubble is more famous for a floating telescope in orbit named in his honor- the Hubble Telescope.

Although the name Local Group makes a lot of sense, it is self centered point of view. The name does not distinguish us form the trillions and trillions of other Local Groups. Perhaps an additional second name is needed?

I propose that our Local Group have a second more distinguishable name as the - "Hubble Bubble Band" in honor of Mr. Hubble.

Our Local Group or rather Hubble Bubble Band has about 30 galaxies rocking and rolling in our galactic neighborhood. Members of the Hubble Bubble Band can easily jam with each other within a 5 light year radius.

Flag of Chiron 2060 the lost Comet, Asteroid, or Comeroid?

Flag of Chiron

Chiron was originally a centaur who differed from his wild Centaurinan Brethren. Chiron was a diamond in the rough, and founder of the healing arts for wounds and private tutor for Achilles.

The planetary body Chiron was discovered on October 18, 1977 by Charles T. Kowal. It seems to be a hybrid of part asteroid and part comet or rather a proverbial "Asteromet" or "Comeroid." Chiron has a "pre-covery" period extending back to 1895, but nobody noticed until 1977.

The Flag of Chiron is based on a Native American Medicine Wheel. It is composed of four colours - orange, maroon, white and black. In the center is a standard Medicine Wheel. In the four corners are symbols representing the moon in black, sun in orange, star in white and finally in maroon is the symbol for Chiron.

Chiron is a proverbiall messenger of the Gas Giants. Since Chiron's orbit is in between Jupiter and Neptune, crossing the paths of Saturn and Uranus.

Solar Interstellar Neighborhood Flag

Flag of our Solar Neighborhood

The Solar Interstellar Neighborhood Flag represents about 69 star systems next to ours. The stars are lit up like dice for easy counting and as a homage to the seemingly random nature of quantum mechanics vs. the elegantly smooth nature of cosmic astronomy.

The star in the Hoodieman's face is representin' earth. The thin sea green line symbolizes the narrow 'Goldilocks' planetary life zone, as we know it.

Hoodieman is a reminder that nations share a common element with street gangs via power, politics, culture, intelligence, and shifting destinies. The nature of a street gang changes rather quickly but the nature of a nation changes relatively slowly.

Governments and gangs both hide intelligence from the general population, and can be a pain or pleasure. Unless you have the proper credits or cred - you're just a chump and haven't seen squat.

People would love to live with out government just as much as they would love to get rid of street gangs, but these entities are an inevitable consequence of forming human social groups, that results in social elites and social outcasts.

Just as social rebels shake the dice for more money on a side street with gambling and bookmaking behind the back of the law, established people with real capital and real power gamble on Wall Street upon the backs of the ignorant. If a dirty man in suit or hood smells an opportunity for more money, they will often send a man with a knife to get it. Especially they thinks the chump with the money is below him.

THIS IS OUR HAPPY IL SOL HOOD

Eddie Izzard - Do you have a Flag?

Eddie Izzard a British fellow born in Yemen did a wonderfully witty outtake on humanities retrospective use of flags.

Super Virgo Cluster Flag

Flag of the Super Virgo Cluster
Earth is a part of this Galactic Cluster

Our Galactic Neighborhood is known as the Super Virgo Cluster. Like the magic Free Masonry Number of 33, it is composed of 33 main megaparsecs.

The flag of the our Super Virgo Cluster is based on a conjuction of the sign Virgo with the Superman Logo and stripe with stars...oops I mean Galaxies within it.
