Did-u-know the size and the distance of the moon from the earth is just right to allow scientists to learn what the stars are made of and has opened many doors in astronomy to help us understand the universe?

The perfect eclipse of the sun allowed scientists to learn the sun was partially made up of hydrogen and helium. If it were smaller or closer there would be too much of the sun showing to determine what it was made of. If it was larger or further away, it would block out all of the sun's rays and prohibit our knowledge of its content. The same would be true if the sun was too large or too small.

The Bible declares in Psalms 19:1 that the heavens declare the glory of God. The creator of the universe not only gave us the perfect place to live, but He wants us to understand and know about the awesome universe He has created. This reveals to us His infinite power and abilities. Let us praise the God who created the universe!
