Get ready to see two bright planets nearly mesh as one light. On Dec 21, 2020 (which is the winter solstice, by the way), there will be a great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter. It happens only once every 20 years, but many times occurs too close to the Sun for us to observe. It … Read more

When most of us think about light, we think about how it lets us see. But beyond that, there is a beautiful spectrum to light. Think of a rainbow or a prism where light is broken up into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. That’s the visible spectrum but, of course, that’s not … Read more
Some Christians have entertained the possibility of evolution being compatible with a Biblical view. In other words, evolution – by way of God. Jesus Christ, Yeshua of Nazareth, our Messiah, stated in the New Testament book of John: “Had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye … Read more
Those who were educated about Columbus’ voyage to the New World can often recall a few basic details from their days in school. Apart from the often repeated line “In fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue,” a majority might recall that Columbus wanted to prove the rest of the world wrong in assuming … Read more
The Crab Nebula, also known as Messier 1, was the very first of 110 objects to be catalogued by the French astronomer Charles Messier. He mistook this nebula for a comet upon first observation, and thus began the famous Messier catalogue. This colorful nebula is quite bright, and fairly easy to spot using a moderately … Read more
How do you detect something out in space that’s invisible? Well, you observe how the objects near it behave. This gives you clues about the nature of the invisible body. And that’s exactly how scientists have discovered and described black holes. Black holes are not visible through standard technology or telescopes, even though they’ve been … Read more
In the 1950s astronomers were using radio telescopes to learn more about the heavens and they discovered something very strange. These objects, which they named “quasi-stellar objects” (Quasars for short), were small but extremely bright despite being very, very, very far away. What were they? Well, future research revealed Quasars are feeding black holes or … Read more
If you ask the average person to name some things found in “outer space” they’ll probably name the moon, stars, planets, and maybe asteroids and comets. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the incredible diversity found throughout the cosmos. Today let’s look at pulsars. We’ve only known about pulsars since the 1960’s, … Read more
Every time a new comet is spotted that was previously undocumented, it is claimed that the comet originated from the Oort Cloud. Articles, magazines, and scientific reports begin claiming that the comet left this proposed cloud tens of thousands of years ago, and is just getting to our solar system. But what is the Oort … Read more
The Bible tells us that “the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork.” Astronomy is one of my passions. I love looking through telescopes and seeing the incredible and beautiful things God has made and placed throughout the universe for His glory. Researchers estimate there are at least 170 billion … Read more
Let’s talk about Astronomy for a minute…. The Bible says the heavens declare the glory of God but there is a theory that says that 14 billion years ago, everything started on its own, purely by accident. But how do you even get the first star to form when a Big Bang would send all … Read more

Many birds migrate in flocks, traveling south for the winter and north for summer, as they follow warm weather and better feeding conditions. The Arctic Tern travels an estimated 45,000 miles EACH YEAR! Hummingbirds are known to migrate up to several thousand miles each year, and are only found in the Americas. One unique feature … Read more
Hummingbirds are remarkable creatures, with their ability to hover, fly backwards, and extract nectar with their amazing tongue. A long thin beak houses that tiny tongue, which the hummer inserts into flowers and laps up the nectar. However, that is no ordinary tongue. Their tongue consists of two separating parts that enclose around the nectar, … Read more
DID YOU KNOW? Paleontologists have found ‘soft tissue’ in dinosaur fossil remains. According to evolutionary theory, dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago. If this is true, then why are we finding blood vessels, and other examples of ‘soft tissue’; in the fossils of creatures that closely resemble what we know today as “Dinosaurs”? … Read more
The tiny hummingbird has a two-step lung system that allows it to utilize all of the oxygen it breathes. This efficient design might not be necessary for life, but for a bird who is flapping its wings at up to 80 times a second, it certainly is a helpful feature! The hummingbird can fly through … Read more

These amazing creatures flap their wings up to 80 times a SECOND, allowing them to hover over flowers filled with … Read more
What is the fossil record telling us about the events of the past? Is it speaking to the theory of millions of years of evolution and extinction, or is it shouting evidence of the global flood that we read about in the biblical book of Genesis?

Saturn. Named after the god of agriculture worshipped in Rome at grand temples on (Capitol-line) Capitoline Hill, this gas giant is second only to Jupiter in size. Because of its dazzling system of rings encompassing the planet, Saturn has been the favorite of many a young astronomer. The rings are easily seen with even a … Read more
Many of the ancients believed that the Earth was a flat disk or plane, sitting on the back of a giant turtle who floated in a giant pool of water. Quite a fanciful story. It sounds like a fairy tale… But still quite a complex and detailed idea! There’s another fanciful story, a complex and … Read more
