Astronomy/Laws of Planetary Motion "I had the intention of becoming a theologian...but now I see how God is, by my endeavors, also glorified in astronomy, for 'the heavens declare the glory of God.'" "I am a Christian...I believe... only and alone in the service of Jesus Christ...In Him is all refuge, all solace." "Let my name perish if only the name of God the Father is thereby elevated." "[God] is the kind Creator who brought forth nature out of nothing." Blaise Pascal [1623-1662] Scientist noted for work in physics, hydrostatics, vacuums; inventor of mechanical calculator "Jesus Christ, I have separated myself from Him: I have fled from Him, denied Him, crucified Him. Let me never be separated from Him. We keep hold of Him only by the ways taught in the Gospel. Renunciation, total and sweet. Total submission to Jesus Christ..." Sir William Herschel [1738-1822] Astronomist. Discovered Uranus, several nebulae, and binary stars. First to accurately describe the Milky Way Galaxy “All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more the Truths contained in the Sacred Scriptures.” "The undevout astronomer must be mad."

The more we study Creation and its laws the more we see the hand of the Creator. It's almost a half moon tonight. :D I was reading the other day about the space weather, and there was a solar flare the other day: "After four years without any X-flares, the sun has produced two of the powerful blasts in less than one month: Feb. 15th and March 9th. This continues the recent trend of increasing solar activity, and shows that Solar Cycle 24 is heating up. NOAA forecasters estimate a 5% chance of more X-flares during the next 24 hours."
