Check this out, folks. From Astronomy Pic of the Day.
Just go! Very cool.
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Living inside the bubble of light pollution around Atlanta, I’m always astonished by the night sky in its glory. My parents live in rural Georgia and have good skies . . . But this is spectacular!
Crazy. I love the Explanation: “…toward the left lie the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud Galaxies……”. Apparently the “small” one is only 200,000 light years away; and a lazy 75,000 light years away from his big brother.
And yet, I make excuses for not finding the time to pray to the Lord and Creator of it all. Pathetic.
Wow-that WAS COOL! I also liked it that when I ran my computer mouse over the picture, it indicated what planets and stars were in the sky.
‘Sun and moon, praise the Lord. Stars of heaven, praise the Lord’!
I just love this kind of stuff Father. Thank you for posting it!
Wow, this is very cool Fr. Z!
