For the past 15 years or so, I have been accessing this website in order to view the wonders of the universe. Prior to that, I was exposed to the heavens by just going outside and viewing the heavens. It was there that I realized the wonder of the universe and began to understand that there must be a creator behind all of this splendor. At this point, Psalm 8 comes to mind...
Psalm 8
1 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth,
who has set your glory above the heavens! 2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4 what is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than God,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
who has set your glory above the heavens! 2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4 what is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than God,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Since the early 60's I have been thinking of the heavens and searching for an understanding of its creator. This website has often focused my thinking and reminded me of how insignificant I am- and how great GOD IS!!! I can only imagine how many of the 1 billion visitors to APOD have thought the same thing!!! Visit the site when you have opportunity and reflect on the greatness of the Almighty!!!
