Lots of cool images, but did you have to photo bomb us with a pic of Uranus right in the middle?
Thank you.
Amazing! Thank you for posting all of these incredible images.
Your welcome!.
People are always amazed at God’s handiwork!.............

That's the difference between TV preachers and NASA scientists.
NASA scientists do the actual work and show us the actual images.
TV preachers talk out of their hat.
Regards,
I did a sermon years ago (lay person) and used one of the early images from Hubble. Had a guy at church print it out on a huge poster. I forget most of it now - put it had the terms power and love in it. Maybe grace too?
The power of God to create an amazing universe - but also to create a new person (grace).
And I quipped something about how for the ancients the stars they could see were vast and amazing and full of wonderment. And now even more so with powerful telescopes. I wonder if God didn’t just create it to show us how great He is, and how much he loves us. Like a parent telling their child “I love you THIS much” as they spread their arms out wide.
And God spreads his arms out as wide as the universe.
BTW - many of the earliest scientists were devout Christians. They figured if they could understand creation better, they could understand the Creator better.
Psalm 96:13
Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Matthew 25:34
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John 17:24
“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 8:19
For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

Great pics...
When I go outside where the sky is dark and can get halfway decent look at the night sky, especially on a summer night, it really becomes obvious what an incredible Creation God made for us to live in.
From the smallest grain of sand up to the night sky, no one-NO ONE can tell me that this was all randomly created. There was too much thought put into all of this. Only a Supreme Being is capable of such.
I’m just a retired machinist, the mark I’ve made in the world is much smaller than some. So many people today don’t look up and wonder about it all, their minds focused on earthly things. There is so much that’s bigger than us, if people would just think about it….
Quite a gallery. Nova had a show last night on the Web telescope, the successor to the Hubble. Informative show about the telescope and deep-space astronomy.
In my university days there was a visit and talk on historical astronomy by Owen Gingerich. After we got to go to the faculty lounge and continue talking. Hubble at the time was in the planning stages. I asked Professor Gingerich what it might be able to resolve and he speculated maybe Jupiter sized planets in orbit around nearby stars. I don’t think that happened but regardless the results of what Hubble did show were spectacular.

:D
Everywhere you look is the beauty of His hand.
Who knew giraffes had antennas?
The advent of omnipresent technobabble has blinded most to the glory of creation.
We have lost the magic of wondering at the night sky.
No more shadows dancing on cave walls, in a world lit only by fire.
