Recently, I was reading about our incredible universe, this work of God’s hands.  Here’s an amazing fact I learned. This just blows my mind.

Imagine yourself looking at the night sky. You take a single grain of sand, and you hold it at arms-length above you, blocking out a tiny portion of the night sky above you.

If you were to train the Hubble Telescope on that portion of night sky that you blocked out, do you know what you would see? The image above shows what the Hubble Telescope found. Not just hundreds of more stars; but hundreds of more galaxies! Each galaxy contains an estimated one billion stars!

And this is truly amazing.  As God was explaining to Job about creation, He talked about how he made the heavens and the earth.  And then, almost as a afterthought, he added, “Oh yeah, I made all the stars too.”  This image displays a part of this “afterthought” never before visible.

Truly, the heavens declare the glory of God!

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.  There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard (Psalm 19:1-3).
