Stars of chaos priest5/31/2023 The deepest part of the Pacific Ocean is measured to be 36,200 feet below the surface of the water. Much of the deep waters of the sea are deep enough to stack the Washington Monument on itself 20 times over-some 13,000+ in depth. NOAA-the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-claims that as of right now we’ve only explored 5% of the waters in the world’s oceans. This double star is 7,500 light years away, so we’re safe on earth but it will be a tremendous light show if it happens in our lifetime.Įqually as fascinating to me is this simple truth: we know more about space than we do about the ocean depths. What’s fascinating for scientists is that bright flares have been sent out by these stars which may signal a change in their stellar winds and ultimately lead to a supernova. Like the one this week about the double star Eta Carinae which is hidden behind a dust nebula that the pair created. Anytime a news story about the vast expanse of interstellar space appears online, I’m hooked. 1st Sunday after the Epiphany, The Baptism of Jesus - Based on Genesis 1:1-5
