Last night’s Hunter Moon was the brightest supermoon we’ll see all year. It comes at the same time a comet discovered only last year is visible after sunset. Meanwhile, strong storms on our Sun may temporarily disrupt power and communications on our planet and spacecraft in orbit.
From above us to below us: Scientists have discovered animals beneath the ocean floor. Since only 26.1 percent of the global seafloor has been mapped, who knows what else lies down there?
For those with eyes to see and minds to think, every dimension of our universe demonstrates our Creator’s magnificence and humanity’s finitude. Consider a few examples:
- Around ten billion trillion people could fit inside the Earth.
- Around 1,300,000 Earths could fit inside the Sun. (Our planet is about the size of an average sunspot.)
- Our Sun is just one of two hundred billion trillion stars in the observable universe.
- End to end, the blood vessels in your body would stretch more than twice the distance around the world.
- One trillion atoms could fit into the period at the end of this sentence.
I could go on. And our God made all of that.
