From Gary.... From Majestic Beauty to Eternal Greatness





(Click on the above link for info from its creators)

For the past 15 years or so, I have been accessing this website in order to view the wonders of the universe.  Prior to that, I was exposed to the heavens by just going outside and viewing the heavens.  It was there that I realized the wonder of the universe and began to understand that there must be a creator behind all of this splendor.  At this point, Psalm 8 comes to mind...

Psalm 8
  1  Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth,
who has set your glory above the heavens!
  2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
  3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
  4 what is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him?
  5 For you have made him a little lower than God,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
  6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet:
  7 All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field,
  8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
  9 Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Since the early 60's I have been thinking of the heavens and searching for an understanding of its creator.  This website has often focused my thinking and reminded me of how insignificant I am- and how great GOD IS!!!  I can only imagine how many of the 1 billion visitors to APOD have thought the same thing!!!  Visit the site when you have opportunity and reflect on the greatness of the Almighty!!!
