The universe - the fathomless frontiers beyond

Astronomy and sky gazing are hobbies that a large number of people adopt or love to adopt. Looking up to the sky in a dark night gives us a sky-scape consisting of trillions of tiny stars shinning above us. Almost all stars, even the nearest which we call our sun, are so far away away that one cannot never think of reaching out to them. The next star to the sun is 110 light years away - imagine the distance.

But while the powerful and the Almighty God created this unfathomable universe, He gave us knowledge - knowledge of science and astronomy to just have a 'feel' of his mighty empire He alone has the control over it. And the beauty is that the entire universe is moving in a set time frame so precisely calculated that no star and its planets get out of the respective orbits. And if that happens, the entire universe would collapse - perhaps that would be the Armageddon - or the doomsday.

The mention of the vastness of the universe and its timed movement appears in holy scriptures and books. God says in Quran: ''And He (is) The One Who created the night and the daytime, and the sun and the moon, each swimming in an orbit.''.......also God says : '' It does not behoove the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the daytime, and each is swimming in an orbit.'

I just came across a video on Facebook, prepared by the American Museum of Natural History, which shows the incredible God has created around us. When I saw the video, I just thought how very small or in fact tiny we are as compared to what else exists around us.

Watch the video - seeing is believing

This is only the part of the universe known to the man today - may be tomorrow and and the day afters man knows much more than he knows today - may be he finds people living out there we portray as aliens in our movies these days.
