Here is a pretty good video explaining the Milky Way Galaxy.

Here is a beautiful time lapse photo sequence of the Milky Way photographed from Spain:

And here, just for good measure (pun), is a video that impresses me every time I see it - the size of earth in context:
"In the beginning, God Created the Heavens and the Earth" --Genesis 1:1
"O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me... You both precede and follow me... If I go up to heaven, you are there... To you the night shines as bright as day..." --from Psalm 139
These videos are amazing. I have been a handful of places where I have seen the milky way in the night sky with my own eyes...it is breathtaking. I love how small it makes me feel.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, Ben. It is truly amazing to consider our place in the big scheme of God's good creation!
