David TrapaniI was walking home tonight and couldn't help but enjoy the beautiful starry sky. Granted it was slightly obscured by the street lights but it sure was pretty.
The above photo is NOT from tonight (cause, really, my camera could never take a photo like this and even if it could I could never take a photo like this). This photo of the star cluster Pleiades. I was reading about Pleiades in Wikipedia:
I was thinking about this:
The cluster is dominated by hot blue stars, which have formed within the last 100 million years. Dust that forms faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be left over from the formation of the cluster but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud that the stars are currently passing through. Astronomers estimate that the cluster will survive for about another 250 million years, when it will have dispersed due to gravitational interactions with the spiral arms of the galaxy and giant molecular clouds.
The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard. -- Psalm 19:1-3
