This is crazy amazing!

The European Space Agency reported Wednesday that they had landed a probe on the surface of a comet 317 million miles from earth. The comet was:

Discovered in 1969, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko circles the sun in an elliptical orbit extending nearly 500 million miles from the sun at its far point -- beyond the orbit of Jupiter -- to a point between the orbits of Earth and Mars some 115 million miles from the sun. The comet measures 2.5 miles across and rotates every 12.4 hours, taking about 6.5 years to complete one orbit. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/comet-landing-esa-rosetta-photos-philae-lander-on-comet-67p/ 11.13.14 12:47pm It is traveling at 86,000 miles per hour. Our own planet earth travels at 66,700 miles per hour around the sun once every 365 1/3 days rotating every 24 hours. The diameter of the earth at the equator is 7,926.41 miles. I know that is a lot of numbers probably too big to get our heads around.

Consider that man aimed at a moving target 21/2 miles across, 317 million miles from our own moving planet 10 years+ ago and yesterday hit it. The machine used the gravitational pull of two different object within our solar system to accelerate to the speed needed to orbit around the comet.  Command and control signals traveling at nearly the speed of light still take 28 minutes to cover the distance and 28 minutes to return.

 

Consider that we could calculate these times and places to land on this “new” object because there is such order in the universe. Not randomness but order, predictable, plan-able (yes I made that one up) perceptible order to the cosmos. Order does not come from chaos.

Consider, Speaking of God Isaiah said:

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measure or weighed the mountains in a balance and the hills in the scales? Isaiah 40:12 HCSB        

God is amazing. Bigger than the vastness of the heavens and all of these mind boggling numbers too big to comprehend and yet it is also true that he knows where you are what you are going through and how it turns out for your good and His glory. You have value and are worth more than the life of his own son!   

²⁹ Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s consent. ³⁰ But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. ³¹ So don’t be afraid therefore; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31 HCSB

Now THAT’S crazy amazing!

In HIS Service and yours,
