Most Mensans are assigned to one of more than 100 local groups, based on geography. A local group can be compact and populous (New York City, for example) or widespread and sparse (some states such as North Dakota have only one local group for the entire state). - A Mensan of either sex. Plural is Ms (pronounced " emz," not " miz"). FM and MM denote the genders; SFM, DMM and the like add marital status or other, similarly deducible information. Can often be taken to the extreme in personal ads; e.g. SBCFM (single Black Christian Female Mensan), MWJMM (Married White Jewish Male Mensan), DOPTM (Divorced Oriental Pagan Transgendered Mensan), etc.
The system of galaxies to which our Milky Way galaxy belongs. It is a group of over 30 galaxies, dominated by two large spirals (our Galaxy and Messier 31, the Andromeda galaxy).
Small group of 30 or so galaxies of which the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are the two dominant members.
the group of 30 galaxies closest to (and including) our own Milky Way, that are clustered together. The local group is also part of a larger cluster of about one hundred galaxies called the Virgo cluster.
a good way to import a group of users and global groups from other domains into a single unit for use in the local domain
a group of users that need to access a resource only on a single machine or group of domain controllers
a group that is managed and assigned rights and permissions on a specific computer
a list of selected accounts from the local domain plus any accounts from a trusted domain plus any global groups from the local or trusted domains
a set of users who have common permissions on the local computer
a single security entity that can be granted access to many objects in a single location (a domain, or a workstation or member server) rather than having to edit the permissions on all those objects separately
A group of approximately 33 galaxies including the Milky Way, M31 and M33, which are gravitationally bound to each other. The local group is approximately 5 million light-years across. Most local group galaxies are dwarf ellipticals and irregulars associated with M31 or the Milky Way.
thousands of neighboring galaxies gravitationally connected to the Virgo supercluster. Superclusters and even larger organizations of galaxies extend to the horizon of the expanding universe 15 to 20 billion light years. The visible universe is defined by the age of the cosmos, 15 to 20 billion years. Light (radiation) from stars further away has not yet had time to reach us.
The small galaxy group that includes the Milky Way Galaxy, the Andromeda Nebula, and about 20 smaller galaxies.
For Windows NT, a group that can be granted permissions and rights only for its own workstation. However, it can contain user accounts from its own computer, and (if the workstation participates in a domain) user accounts and global groups both from its own domain and from trusted domains. Local groups provide a way to create handy sets of users from both inside and outside the workstation, to be used only at the workstation. For Windows NT Advanced Server, a group that can be granted permissions and rights only for the servers of its own domain. However, it can contain user accounts and global groups both from its own domain and from trusted domains. Local groups provide a way to create handy sets of users from both inside and outside the domain, to be used only at servers of the domain. See also global group, group.
Galaxies that are part of the cluster around the Milky Way.
A small group of about two dozen galaxies of which our own Milky Way galaxy is a member.
The cluster of galaxies to which our Galaxy belongs.
The cluster of 30 galaxies to which we belong. The largest of the galaxies are the Andromeda galaxy, Triangulum, and the Milky Way galaxy.
the galaxy cluster containing roughly 35 galaxies to which the Milky Way Galaxy belongs.
gravitationally bound group of about 20 galaxies to which our Milky Way Galaxy belongs.
Our galactic neighborhood, including the Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy, M33, and more than 25 smaller galaxies. The Local Group appears to be a suburb of a supercluster of galaxies that lies 60 million light-years away, in the direction of the constellation Virgo (Virgo Supercluster).
The name given to a small cluster of about 20 galaxies, and of which the Milky Way Galaxy is a member.
The small cluster of a few dozend of galaxies that contains our Milky Way Galaxy.
For computers running Windows and member servers, a group that can be granted permissions and rights from its own computer and (if the computer participates in a domain) user accounts and global groups both from its own domain and from trusted domains. See also: global group; user account
A small cluster of more than 30 galaxies, including the Andromeda galaxy, the Magellanic Clouds, and the Milky Way galaxy.
The Local Group is the group of galaxies that includes our galaxy, the Milky Way. The group comprises over 30 galaxies, with its gravitational center located somewhere between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. The galaxies of the Local Group cover a 10 million light-year diameter (see 1 E22 m for distance comparisons) and have a binary (dumbbell) shape.
