Last April we had the opportunity to be in Tennessee for two weeks. During that time we went to one of our favourite places: the Tennessee Aquarium, the world's largest indoor fresh water aquarium. We got a package deal on the price of our tickets so we were able to go to the shark aquarium next door and the IMax theater presentation of the pictures from the Hubble telescope, the world's most powerful telescope.
I have never seen such beauty and majesty as the pictures I saw that day at the IMax! It took pictures of the parts of our universe that we have never had access to before. And guess what they discovered..... the universe goes on and on and on. Our little Milky Way Galaxy is only a tiny pin dot in a small cluster of galaxies which are part of a group of larger galaxies which are part of the universe. It is mind boggling!
We saw thinks like red giants, nebula, planets, stars, moons, comets, meterors and on and on. We saw pictures of the dust that surrounds Saturn and we saw how very small our earth actually is. And we saw how beautiful space is. We saw the care that God took in creating each planet, each star, each moon to be different than the next one. Why? He didn't have to create anything in space at all. He could have left it blank. But He didn't. He created because He loves to create.
By Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible, and invisible.
Colossians 1:16, NKJV
Just imagine.... He created the sun, the moon and the stars in one day and yet He has been working on Heaven forever and it is still not finished! Our God loves to create and He has been creating a place for us so that one day we will go to be with Him. He wants it to be just right because He loves us!
I loved seeing the pictures the Hubble telescope took. I loved seeing more of God's creation. It reminded me once again of just how small and insignificant I am in the whole scope of things and how BIG He is! We serve a great big wonderful God!
PS if you want to see the pictures Hubble took you can at http://www.hubblesite.org/ and go to the gallery.
