Prejudice

 

Prejudice: Biased or unfair opinion, opinion not based on factual information.

How many people do you know that are prejudice? How many people do you know that base their opinion on one sided information? Do you know anyone that has lots of information but all from one place? Did you know that hate is mostly based on prejudice? These questions would require me to point back at myself before naming anyone. How about you? In one of my recent posts I wrote about a minister that asked his congregation who would be left if he said "anyone who was hypocrite to leave the congregation." The answer was no one, not even himself. We are not perfect in any way. No, Not even the Saints. Most of us are nowhere near being Saints yet we feel as though we are better than the next guy. Each of us has things we do, know or are capable of that the next person can't do, does not know or is not capable of, but that does not make us superior to them. We all need one another to function in those areas to be able to live in harmony.

Today I would like to change up a bit. There are so many wonders of the universe to share. I would like to share some astrophotos. 

  

When was the last time if ever you had seen the sky like this? I was a child in my backyard when the sky appeared this full of stars. Today that is no more. 

Uranus is the only planet in our solar system that is on its side as it orbits around the sun. Its seasons are years long with each pole being toward the sun in turn. Each pole experiences 1 of the 4 seasons fully facing the sun. Ariel is one of the moon of Uranus.  

This is 1987. It was a supernova in the Large Magellanic cloud, a satellite of our galaxy, in 1987. The bright ring of what look like stars is the shock wave of debris striking gas that was shed by the star before it exploded as it travels outward at thousands of miles per hour.

 

This is what will happen to our star in a few billion years. It is a planetary nebula. It consists of the expelled gas of the central star in this image. It will become a white dwarf star. It is about the size of our star condensed to the size of our planet earth.

This is another example of a planetary nebula. There are many of them in the milky way galaxy. All are the result of dying stars.

That is it for this week. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Always Love The Details."
