sunspots are ZERO today (again!)
However, on the link they have some great photos of the Aurora from Oct. 19th (yesterday). Just glanced at it, but not so much anything to do with the sun’s activity - but was due to a “crack” in the earth’s magnetic field. (Or something - details at the site).
really? i’m a huge fan of Flood. the line didn’t ring a bell. particle man, particle man, does anything a particle can.
that really gets in my eyes
Both, really. When the "demotion" decision was announced, I was among the incensed sentimentalists. Researching the history, I was chagrined to find that the most annoying aspect of this decision was that it made so much sense. Tombaugh was looking for a much bigger planet, based on perturbation analysis, which was completely imaginary. The estimates of Pluto's size, which started out as "earth-sized", progressively diminished over the years. The sad fact is, it just isn't what it was thought to be.
... but still!
It is not that Mercury is tiny, it is just that the Sun is so enormously large.
Just look at that tiny dot that is Mercury. If our whole solar system came from a ‘big bang’ and was billions of years old, the much larger Sun back then would have had a much greater gravitational pull and sucked Mercury and the other planets right into it.
Psalm 8—amazing.
God Is.
He made it all.
I love it and thanks for the ping The Spirit of Allegiance.
AAC, everything to you is gas..... (from the lion king! :)
:-)
Just expressing my geeky appreciation of They Might Be Giants.
Jerry Lee Lewis would be very proud of this.
“Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire”.
It is amazing, awe inspiring.
All praise and glory to our Mighty Creator of the Universe. Thank You, God, for Your beautiful creation.
