Lockdown 371

Lockdown Day 371 - 1 April 2021

Still on the space topic, one of the things I also discovered was a new bubblegum pink planet NASA have found.

This planet called GJ 504b, is about the size of Jupiter, but has several times its mass. It’s actually so far the smallest planet that’s ever been directly imaged with a telescope.

Planets the size of Jupiter appear to be quite common throughout our galaxy – astronomers have discovered many outside of our solar system.

But what’s unusual about this planet is that it’s located about 4.05 billion miles from its star – about 43.5 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun. If it were in our own solar system, it would be beyond the orbit of Neptune.

"This is among the hardest planets to explain in a traditional planet-formation framework,” researcher Markus Janson said in a press release. “Its discovery implies that we need to seriously consider alternative formation theories. "

To me, this is God saying, "Gotcha!" How wonderful that the clever people struggle to explain a planet that God has created and according to Isaiah 40:26 has always been there. Maybe it's time to reset perceptions and adopt a heavenly perspective of science.

So on this eve of Good Friday we could think about the Creator of this all and the fact that He decided to give His life so we, a mere speck in the Universe may live.
