I’m constantly amazed at the majesty and splendor evident in creation, particularly when it comes to the pictures that various space organizations capture. This true-color image of Saturn’s northern hemisphere captured by the Cassini probe is a stunning example of that beauty.
I often wonder whether, when we die, God will give us a chance to explore the universe and wonder anew at His creation. Will we even care once we get to Heaven? Since we are made in God’s image and we both hunger to know and to be known, I almost am tempted to believe that, yes, we’ll get a chance to see all of His creation up close – to explore the “surfaces” of Jupiter and Saturn, if they even exist, to watch stars being born and dying out, to get a chance to see nebulae up close.
One can hope.
