looking forward to that starry avatar!

Okay. Is that better?
I can live with this one. There are over one million star images to look at that Hubble has on their web site!
This one has a personal meaning for me. I can see the outline of a fetus as I look at this image that is named "Baby Stars"....I think we are like baby stars as Christ is being fully formed in us.
Gal 4:18 It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; always, and not only when I am with you, my children--
Gal 4:19 you for whom I am again, as it were, undergoing the pains of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within you.
I see the Cancer Ray suffers and endures without complaint ~ that Ray bears quite matter of factly ~ as an undergoing the pains of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within us. I believe Ray cares more about US, than his Cancer! :'(
I hope you like the Avatar. It also reminds me we are vessles of the Spirit of Christ being formed in us.

Hi Janinie
Our brother Marky Mark has posted the following in Eileens Thread.
It says so much more than I have said and I believe it also bears reference here to what I was trying to say!
Just as the umbilical cord that is attached to the fetus from the mother was designed to give life to the baby before birth, then, after delivery, the cord is then severed so that the baby can live free from the constraints of his/her mother, leads me to this thought.
It seems to me that the cord that Jesus was attached to in death, in the grave, was also severed so that He could be born again of the Spirit,free from the confines of the cords that held Him in the grave. When the Father gave life back to His Son, Jesus was then free from the cord that bound Him in death,just as a newborn baby is freed from the darkness of the womb. How wonderful a plan is that,engineered,designed and certified from the beginning. Christ being the Truth and the Way in the form of a reborn Spirit in which He is the Firstfruit . As much as I hate being tied down at times in my own misunderstandings of things Spiritual,I can not help to always pray that The Most High continues to cut the cord to my own Spiritual short comings. Now I wait with more patience for my freedom from these earthly constraints [cords] that all of us need to endure. Amen... http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,12249.0/topicseen.html Thread ref : Re: Acts 2:23-24

Awesome. I was just speaking earlier to a long time foreign friend via email (not a person of faith) who was concerned about our economic status here. I mentioned to her that since it is God creator who watches over the sparrow, so much more He watches and cares over us.
Wow, now I want to change that to 'hummingbird' ; so exquisitely delicate and fragile. What a precious sight. Thank you for sharing Stacey.
Hi Janine,
I have another site which you might like to look at, it concerns astro physics, scenery and nature pics. Really lovely!

Hi Arc,
I love the Hubble site too!
try this one as well.

you’ll be amazed at what this site has to offer in terms of atmospherics!!

Hi jingle52
Maybe you meant to post two different web-sites? I have enjoyed looking at the one you posted. :) I also learned somethings as well!
I recognize some of the eclipse pics. too! 8) I notice that the Star clusters pics show one cluster named Hyades almost looking like Haydes!! Not a name I’d choose to be my avatar! :D :D
The nebula pics are some of my favorites! Those dust clouds in space are enormous! The galaxy pics are breathtaking too!
The new avatar I now have has some information that I am happy to say, for me, has a few parallels, as I see it, :) :D to our Forum of hot stars here and the beautiful light shining through! 8) :)
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

This new image taken with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope depicts bright, blue, newly formed stars that are blowing a cavity in the center of a star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
At the heart of the star-forming region, lies star cluster NGC 602. The high-energy radiation blazing out from the hot young stars is sculpting the inner edge of the outer portions of the nebula, slowly eroding it away and eating into the material beyond. The diffuse outer reaches of the nebula prevent the energetic outflows from streaming away from the cluster.
Ridges of dust and gaseous filaments are seen towards the northwest (in the upper-left part of the image) and towards the southeast (in the lower right-hand corner). Elephant trunk-like dust pillars point towards the hot blue stars and are tell-tale signs of their eroding effect. In this region it is possible with Hubble to trace how the star formation started at the center of the cluster and propagated outward, with the youngest stars still forming today along the dust ridges.
The Small Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation Tucana, is roughly 200,000 light-years from the Earth. Its proximity to us makes it an exceptional laboratory to perform in-depth studies of star formation processes and their evolution in an environment slightly different from our own Milky Way.
Dwarf galaxies such as the Small Magellanic Cloud, with significantly fewer stars compared to our own galaxy, are considered to be the primitive building blocks of larger galaxies. The study of star formation within this dwarf galaxy is particularly interesting to astronomers because its primitive nature means that it lacks a large percentage of the heavier elements that are forged in successive generations of stars through nuclear fusion.
These observations were taken with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys in July 2004.
Filters that isolate visible and infrared light were combined with a filter that samples the hydrogen and nitrogen emission from the glowing clouds.
How did we get to 200,00 light-years from the Earth birth of a Hummingbird?? Wow jingle52 ~ you have some serious star power! 8):) Hummmmm-mmm :)
Blessings
