Psalm 8
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

If they keep finding "God stuff" like this, I'm going to become a Project Blue Beam believer. They say NASA is doing it on purpose. (I've got to stop reading so many blogs.)

That verse and those pics bring to mind the chorus of one of my favorite hymns...How Great Thou Art.

From your link...
“A small, dense object only twelve miles in diameter is responsible for this beautiful X-ray nebula that spans 150 light years. At the center of this image made by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory is a very young and powerful pulsar, known as PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short. The pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star which is spewing energy out into the space around it to create complex and intriguing structures, including one that resembles a large cosmic hand. In this image, the lowest energy X-rays that Chandra detects are colored red, the medium range is green, and the most energetic ones are blue. Astronomers think that B1509 is about 1700 years old as measured in Earth’s time-frame (referring to when events are observable at Earth) and is located about 17,000 light years away.”
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2009/b1509/b1509.jpg&imgrefurl=http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2009/b1509/&usg=__YbzVWqPTte2nW8FpeIC8DSmxyAY=&h=864&w=864&sz=293&hl=en&start=6&um=1&tbnid=sVv55qDY_7sW3M:&tbnh=145&tbn
Note: ONE light-year, the *distance* light travels in a year at its constant speed of 186,000 miles per second, is approximately 5.9 TRILLION miles. So 17,000 light years is roughly 17,000 TIMES 5.9 Trillion miles!!!! -ETL

Note: ONE light-year, the *distance* light travels in a year at its constant speed of 186,000 miles per second, is approximately 5.9 TRILLION miles.So our national debt is or soon will be equalivent to one dollar for every mile light can travel in one year.
