Dark matter, stellar streams and a UW rethink on FOX 13 Seattle's shelf

Hurricane Isaias, H-1B visas and a Wallingford Caribbean kitchen closing its doors filled the rest of the station's fifteen uploads.

UW Scientists rethink dark matter theories | FOX 13 Seattle

FOX 13 Seattle usually covers the ferries, the traffic and the rain, so it is a small surprise that the video carrying the most momentum on its shelf right now is about the universe. In "UW Scientists rethink dark matter theories," University of Washington researchers explain a paper in the Astrophysical Journal that questions leading ideas about the invisible stuff, using stellar streams, the long trails of stars that galaxies stretch out as they pull smaller clusters apart.

The station posted fifteen videos in the week, and most of them looked outward. The busiest new upload was a national one: "Southeastern US braces for Hurricane Isaias," with residents filling sandbags as the storm strengthened in the Gulf. Its comment section went looking for the name's meaning, and several viewers note that Isaias means "Yahweh is salvation." Matthew Smith sat down with Britta Glenna of the Wharton School to talk about H-1B visas after JD Vance's announcement about Microsoft, and the Maduro charges made the list too.

Closer to home, the shelf held a shooting in Milton, a fall foliage trail guide for every skill level, and a goodbye: Pam's Caribbean Kitchen, a Wallingford spot serving the food of Trinidad, is closing over money troubles.

The channel ran a bit above its usual daily pace and picked up about a thousand subscribers. Among the local stations nearest its size, NBCLA had the big week, at roughly three times its usual pace, while KTVU in San Francisco and CBS Philadelphia were quieter than normal.
