SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE
Did you see the photographs which the Hubble Space Telescope took recently of outer space. Just last December they focused the space telescope on a very small spot in the sky, near the handle of the Big Dipper, a spot about the size of a grain of sand viewed at arm’s length. Photographing that little spot, the telescope spied at least 1,500 new galaxies in the universe we humans have never seen before — spirals and ellipticals and odd shapes — all in that one little spot! Scientists now calculate that the universe is filled with 50 billion galaxies. Some galaxies are relatively close to ours, and others are unimaginably distant in space and time. (Newsweek, January 29, 1996, pg. 53) Every night people walk by this great art work of God in the sky and hardly notice. They hardly notice the magnificent universe God created, how glorious and wonderful God is.
