To: Hebrews 11:6

Oops!

The photo is actually from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, not Hubble.

Thanks so much. Whether GALEX or Hubble, our Sun cannot be that insignificant speck that SkyDancer asserted. It would appear in any photo by those telescopes without magnification to be as large as it does to our naked eye, because both telescopes orbit the Earth and remain within a mere 93 million miles of it. He is simply mistaken about that, then, although his point is perfectly valid.

It couldn’t have been Hubble, because the images in that composite photo have round borders, whereas Hubble’s have that peculiar “stepped-L” shape.
