Space

Ok, so I was able to take this astronomy class once and I loved it. The teacher and I got along great there was a math major in my lab group so I never thought in numbers, the tests made sense, the sky was cloudy so I wasn't up till all hours of the night doing observations, and I took it in summer school so it was over in about 3 weeks. (did I mention that I got an A in it?) All in all a great class. I tell you this to let you know that I tend to find space fascinating (see sci-fi post) and I really love space photographs (may Hubble live forever!!!) And so there's this photograph which, honestly, is incredible. Space, in my estimation, is one of the great proofs of God. Because of its complexity, incredibly vast distances and amazing beauty I can not help but look at it and see God. (I do realize that other people see other things - but there wrong and I'm not). So heres the picture, take a moment to marvel at the amazingness of the beauty God has given us.




By the way: this is a picture of Saturn eclipsing Sol, taken from the Cassini spacecraft. The camera was facing back into the solar system and if you can zoom in on the picture (try clicking on it). you can see Earth at the 10 o'clock position (Saturns the clock face) just inside the outermost circle.
