    Nothing can adequately reveal the size of God

    the expanse of His person, His majesty, love,

    mercy, holiness...God has crafted the universe in a such a way as

    to give us a glimpse of the surpassing greatness

    of His glory.

    The heavens are telling of the glory of God;

    and their expanse is declaring the work of His

    hands. (Psalm 19:1)

    Lets let the heavens

    preach to us!

    There was nothing before Him,and out of Him everything was

    created.

    In the beginning God created the

    heavens and the earth.Genesis 1:1

    Then God said, Let there be lights in the

    expanse of the heavens to separate the day

    from the night, and let them be for signs andfor seasons and for days and for years

    (Genesis 1:14).

    and the lesser light to govern the

    night; He made the stars also.

    God made two great lights, the

    greater light to govern the day,

    Every second 700 million tons of hydrogen

    are converted into helium ashes, releasing

    5 million tons of pure energy in the form ofheat and lightthat is 4x1026 wattsour

    largest power plants can produce 5,000

    megawatts of power.

    The pressure at the core of the Sun is

    thought to be 360 billion times Earths air

    pressure. It is estimated that it takes one

    million years for energy created at the

    core of the Sun to reach its surface.

    1,300,000 times!

    The Sun makes up99.86% of the total

    mass of the entire

    solar system.

    other stars that are

    bigger than our sun.

    The starcalled Antares

    is so big it

    would hold 65million suns

    in it!

    To whom then will you liken MeThat I would be his equal says the Holy One.

    Lift up your eyes on highAnd see who has created these stars,

    The one who leads forth their host by number,

    He calls them all by name;Because of the greatness of His might and the

    strength of His power,

    Not one of them is missing.(Isaiah 40:25-26)

    Light Moves

    at a speed of

    186,000 miles

    per second.

    It travels

    almost 6

    trillion miles

    (about 9.46km) in a year.

    It takes light

    from the Sun

    8 minutes to

    reach earth

    from 93

    million miles

    away.

    Our solar system has a diameter of about

    16,000,000,000 miles.

    Traveling at 100 mph it would take you

    over 18 thousand years to cross the

    distance.

    If you counted all the stars in the

    Milky Way Galaxy at a rate of onestar per second, it would take 2500

    years to count them all.

    Earth is perfectly located within

    the Milky Way Galaxy

    The center of the Milky Way is a

    black hole. The 7 stars orbiting

    it are traveling at 626,300 mph.

    NASA launched the Hubble Space telescope in

    1990. It orbits the Earth every 97 minutes at an

    altitude of 353 miles (in space) and is able totake photographs of the universe that would

    not be possible from the ground.

    We are the first generation to see the heavens

    declaring the glory of the Lord in such a

    powerful way. You are about to see things no

    other generation has seen. God has reserved

    these picturesthis knowledge of His glory

    for you!

    times larger than our Sun. The explosion was so huge it

    was visible to the naked eye on Earth (March 21, 2008).

    Not one of them is missing.

    The Pillars are dense

  • 8/12/2019 (9) Unkulunkulu

    49/62

    clouds of gas in the Eagle

    Nebula.

    The red color behind the pillars is a supernova (the

    explosive death of a giant star). The Eagle Nebula is 7,000

    light years from earth, which means the shockwave from

    the supernova has already destroyed the pillars.

    In 1977 the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft

    were launched.

    Traveling over 38,000 miles per hour,

    Voyager 1 has finally reached the outerfringe of our solar system, and is more

    than 7,900,000,000 miles away from

    Earth.
