I have a nice mid-sized telescope that our grandchildren have been curious about all their lives. I am missing a lens for the eyepiece. It is time to find a new lens and point it to the heavens for them to take a look. So much is happening in the night skies this fall and winter. Solar flares are creating nightly aurora borealis displays even into Oklahoma. Meteor showers are raining, and a mystery comet has social media debating if it is really alien technology or a scouting ship checking out our favorite planet. The deep space telescopes only see an out of focus fuzzy light emitting various chemical emissions that keep changing colors. Right now, 3I/ATLAS as it has been named, is near the sun and will be visible again about December 16. The name 3I/ATLAS is short for 3rd confirmed Interstellar object discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. It is predicted to be closest to the earth on December 19 and projected to be off to another solar system in January 2026—unless it is an alien vessel dropping by to say, Greetings. Better images are anticipated.
Even though this object is from outside our solar system, it is not classified as a UFO, Unidentified Flying Object. The term UFO is no longer used by astronomers, although the rest of us have been waiting to see one for most of our lives. The new term is UAP, Unexplained Anomalous Phenomenon. UAP could also be a definition for a miracle or even divine intervention.
Would finding technology or life from another planet alter your view of God, His power, or His word? Would it cause you to question your theology of Jesus, or even abandon your faith? Science does not validate or invalidate God Almighty. God is, was and always will be God. Discoveries in outer space simply give us additional insight into the wonder of God’s love. That is what God’s creation is all about.
Keep healthy. Pray mightily. Enjoy your life today. Keep looking up. And let’s experience the love and power of God together.
