The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

From Vincent @ http://www.worldmagblog.com


Astronomers are marveling at the beauty and symmetry of "Red Square Nebula," a dying star captured by super-telescopes in Hawaii and California.

The star is ejecting its material into space, forming a spectacular aura that scientists say may be the most symmetrical object of comparable complexity ever observed. “If you fold things across the principle diagonal axis, you get an almost perfect reflection symmetry,” said study leader Peter Tuthill from the University of Sydney in Australia.

According to Space.com, astronomists say Red Square’s "extreme symmetry suggests the star’s surroundings are extremely still and not buffeted by external stellar winds or other turbulence."

It also suggests that the heavens declare the glory of God. See more glory here.
