TeV gamma-ray optical depths yield a local EBL intensity consistent with integrated galaxy light to within 25% over 0.5-30 microns and incompatible at 3-5 sigma with near-IR excesses from IRTS and CIBER.
Plasma instabilities on ~100 kpc scales cool pairs in GeV cascades from 1ES 0229+200, yielding an IGMF strength of order 10^{-17} G when fitted to Fermi-LAT observations.
