It was a college prank while I slept.

The stars are big, but that table they are sitting on must be huge! ;)

I can't see it from here, but I'll let you know when I find a mirror.

A nice reminder...of God's universe.

I initally got the photos from our Pastor. It took me about 15 minutes to track it down via google. This is what he sent to us:

Gentlemen,

This is powerful stuff.

"O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him? O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens." from Psalm 8

Enjoy.

Blessings,

Pastor Tom

I'd need a mirror to check.
Seriously, what's up with the stationary hexagon thingy on the north pole of Saturn? Is it a huge jack in the box getting ready to spring out Satan and the onslaught of the end of the universe? reminds me of the 2010 a space odessey when the eye of saturn turns out to be millions of obelisks.

Cool Pics!

Yeah, I had a hell of time getting all those stars and planets to line up like that.

Red SUPERgiant actually. Arcturus (also on the chart) is a more typical Red Giant.
