Hubble Renewed



Psalm 19 (1-3)


For the director of music. A psalm of David.



1 The heavens declare the glory of God;


the skies proclaim the work of his hands.


2 Day after day they pour forth speech;


night after night they display knowledge.


3 There is no speech or language


where their voice is not heard.


New pictures have been released from the refurbished Hubble Space Telescope. There are many things that are amazing about God's Creation, but one we can't miss is His immense range. He has made atoms and stars, He conceived of electrons and galaxies.

The observable universe is about 10^25 miles long (a 1 with 25 zero's).

There are about 10^23 atoms (a 1 with 23 zero's after it) in a chemical mole. (A mole has mass approximately equal to the substance's molecular/atomic weight in grams, for example, less than 1/2 ounce of Carbon.)


And here we are, right in the middle of it all.

  1. Stunning picture! The post was great too! It looks like The Author of Life put a big bow on the beautiful gift of the universe.
