A Stellar Advent Calendar
« on: December 11, 2009, 10:42 AM »
Better late than never.

via the Science & the Sacred blog:

Looking for a unique way to mark the days of the Advent season? The Web site Boston.com offers an Advent calendar composed of images from the Hubble Telescope, both old and new. Each day, from now until the celebration of the Nativity of Christ, the calendar will offer a beautiful image from the heavens above.

The connection between Advent and NASA images might seem odd. However, the calendar offers us a chance to marvel at the wonders of God's works as we anticipate the coming of his Son. For as Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God."

Just... Wow!!
If you don't see how it can fail -
you haven't understood it properly.

The Big Picture site is the best source of photojournalism since Life Magazine back in the day.
