This is so cool!

This is a picture of a planet literally being sucked into it's parent star. It's about 600 light years away from our planet. This picture was captured by the Hubble Telescope the other day. (here is a website to learn more) You photographers out there would be interested to know that the exposure time to capture this picture was about 4 hours!!! Brent came home and shared this with us last night. He and Emma have been talking about the earth and it's rotation and the solar system for a few years now. They both share this love of science and to be honest I am terribly intrigued by it. Space! It's really cool. Just looking at the pictures of space and everything that has been discovered out there is so amazing. The Hubble Telescope has been able to take pictures of such incredible things. If you have never looked at some of these pictures go to this website and check stuff out! It is really neat to see what the Lord has created for us. Last night after everyone had gone to bed I (again) couldn't sleep so I went to check out what was on the Discovery channel and it just HAPPENED to be a program on planets. Recently it has been discovered about a billion light years away that a planet and solar system has been found that almost exactly replicates our solar system. That means that there is a solar system with planets that rotate around it's sun or parent star. It also means that there is a planet in that solar system that is far enough away from the sun that the water on that planet would not be boiling and also not to far away to freeze all the water either. The planet is relatively about the same size as earth! The scientist speculate that it could be livable!!! Is that proof enough that there is other life out there? That the Lord has certainly made other worlds? YES YES YES!!! I was on the verge of closing my eyes when they started talking about this and all the sudden I came wide awake! Isn't it really exciting to see science catch up! Seriously, check out that website!
