Coronal mass ejections from the Sun shower the Earth with fast-moving particles. Our invisible magnetic field deflects most of these damaging particles, but they sometimes get trapped in our upper atmosphere near the poles, creating beautiful aurorae when they collide. #Psalm19

This. A thousand times this.

Sorry I’ve been absent! A little star was born! New content soon!

There are three major types of galaxies: spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Unlike spirals and ellipticals, irregulars don’t have a distinct shape or pattern - no bulge, no spiral arms, just chaos. This is likely a result of gravitational interactions with other galaxies.

Since it's moving week, you're mostly gettin' pretty pictures from my archive. This is the stirring Helix Nebula, the remnants of an ordinary star that threw off its outer layers thousands of years ago. (Is it just me, or do you get the feeling you're being watched?) #Psalm19

Bonus picture! Detailed images near the center of the nebula reveal "cometary knots," so called because of their resemblance to comets. Each knot, not incl. the tail, is about the size of a solar system, and is comprised of cold molecular gas surrounded by a shell of ionized gas.

Can’t find time to post!

Our Sun is one of over 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, and the Milky Way is one of over 100 million galaxies in the universe.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. - Ecclesiastes 3:11
