Galaxies of the Universe -- WOW !!! and Inspiring faith in G-d




Fundamentals of  Faith

The heavens are not only the largest feature of nature, at some forty-eight billion light years across, but they are also the most conspicuous feature in our lives. A spiritual principle is that the prominence of a feature in nature is directly proportional to the importance of the lesson that it projects. Wherever we are, the heavens are above and we see them constantly (although not like you will see them below). There is nothing in nature that is more prominent. Thus the lesson that they teach must be the most important lesson of them all!!
The cornerstone of Spirituality is awareness of G-d's existence. This awareness is imparted to us by the heavens. On the last day of Chanukah, the festival of light, when the world is dealing with dead children in Connecticut, only faith sets us free.

WOW !!!
 

 
Astronauts voted on the top photographs taken by Hubble, in its 16-year journey so far.. Remarking in the article from the Daily Mail, reporter Michael Hanlon says, "The photos illustrate that our universe is not only deeply strange, but also almost impossibly beautiful." 


 
 
 The  Sombrero  Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope.  The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across.
 

 
  
 The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas whose technical name is Mz3, resembles an ant when observed using ground-based telescopes....  The nebula lies within our galaxy between 3,000 and 6,000 light years from Earth.
 


 
 
 In third place is Nebula NGC 2392, called "Eskimo" because it looks like a face surrounded by a furry hood.  The hood is, in fact, a ring of comet shaped objects flying away from a dying star.  Eskimo is 5,000 light years from Earth.
 

  
 At four is the Cat's Eye Nebula.
 

 
  
 The Hourglass Nebula, 8,000 light years away, has a "pinched in the middle" look because the winds that shape it are weaker at the center.
 
  
 In sixth place is the Cone Nebula.  The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in length (the equivalent of 23 million return trips to the Moon).
 

 
 
 The Perfect Storm, a small region in the Swan Nebula, 5,500 light years away, described as 'a bubbly ocean of hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulphur and other elements'.
 
 
 Starry Night, so named because it reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting..  It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way.
 
 
 The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant Canis Major constellation.
 

 
 
 The Trifid Nebula. A 'stellar nursery', 9,000 light years from here, it is where new stars are being born.
 

 The end....you have just seen the Top 10 Hubbel photos!!!  Share with someone !!
