Hand of Creation

Ever wondered what it looked like when God first made the universe? There are a dozen scientific studies out there – including the Big Bang theory. Science and religion have always been on a collision course with one another. However, here’s one case how science makes you appreciate your spirituality and personal relationship with God some more. This picture after the break was taken by NASA Chandra X-Ray Observatory of a powerful pulsar.

A small, dense object only twelve miles in diameter is responsible for this beautiful X-ray nebula that spans 150 light years. At the center of this image made by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory is a very young and powerful pulsar, known as PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short. The pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star which is spewing energy out into the space around it to create complex and intriguing structures, including one that resembles a large cosmic hand.

In this image, the lowest energy X-rays that Chandra detects are red, the medium range is green, and the most energetic ones are colored blue. Astronomers think that B1509 is about 1,700 years old and is located about 17,000 light years away.

    Hey there Sonnie. Let’s discuss sometime this week. I have a 3-day leave starting Wednesday so that will give me time to prepare the project brief and other related details.
