Just ponderin this morning.
Since we’re at the edge of our galaxy, it seems to me that much of our view of the universe is blocked by the dense center of our galaxy. Our orbit around the center of our galaxy takes some 200 million years so it seems to me that there’s a huge portion of our universe that remains unseen.
There is a lodestar in there somewhere. (Extra credit for using the “word of the day”.
What a beautiful sight. How arrogant are those who believe that something so awesome just “happened” on it’s own without intevention of the Almighty.
Is that a tool bag, in the lower left corner?
