Good Saturday Morning, February 22, 2020 my RP Brothers and Sisters... I know most of you do not have a keen interest in Space, our Universe, Physics, Chemistry and the like, and I also know that many of you will not read this preamble to the video and I further know that most of you miss out on the sheer magnitude of where we are, where our Planet Earth resides in the vastness of the Universe... of course some of you know that we are part and parcel of a solar system with eight major planets, several minor planets and all of their combined moons... but none of that means anything to the average person on a daily basis...as we are all tied up on the blue marble with the seemingly trivial aspects of human life...

This morning I am sharing with you an outstanding creation of Space, of our Universe and all that is contained therein... this video is titled Deep Field: The Impossible magnitude of our Universe... If you could watch this on a huge 3D, 360° screen it would be mind blowing, but that is not possible...but one can watch this on a 50", 65" 80" LED screen in the quietness of your own home, FULL SCREEN with SOUND up...and lights off on a quiet weekend night sipping a drink of your own making while you travel the vastness of the Universe that our Lord God created for us all... This is not a short video, for it runs some 30-minutes, but the last 6-minutes or so are the credits associated with the making of this video. If you watch it, and I mean really watch it, you will not only understand, but it may change your life and your thinking of the vastness of God's Cosmos...

If you choose not to watch it, that is okay, just move on... But if you do watch it and let it sink in, you may understand more than you ever thought possible...

"As we got further and further away, it [the Earth] diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man." James Irwin, Apollo 15 Astronaut

Hey Kerry, I have seen this before (as have many of the followers of you and the Good Captains posts)- and our minds are just not built to understand the really big, or the really small. The kinds of minds that had to struggle to overcome that handicap have always stood in awe of the Universe. And as it trickles down, some of us are getting to see part of the picture too.
DNA won a Nobel Prize for its discovery...now a Fourth Grader can give a fairly good account of it. So knowledge and awe are being passed on to more and more folks...and some folks resist learning. How do you grasp something like a Trillion (let along a Googleplex) - so we have to use metaphors, analogies, words, and the clearest descriptions are all Mathematical at a level most of us will never reach. So we stand in awe.

That is why I prefaced my post regarding the Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of our Universe... Some will grasp the abstract, others will not and that is okay... If everyone learns something from it, then all is good... It is one of those simple choices we make, watch or not watch, read or not read, etc. but passing the information around to everyone provides the opportunity... I gravitate to anything related to space and our universe and suck it in so-to-speak... I can't seem to get enough! LOL! My wife gets PO'd sometimes because I get so wrapped up in it... Thank you for your great comments as always, Kevin...
