According to a recent article Lots More Planets Out There http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091019/ap_on_sc/us_sci_new_planets , astronomers have apparently discovered 32 more planets outside of our solar system. This brings the total number of planets discovered outside our solar system to 400!
The Psalmist says its best, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Psalm 19:1 (ESV) To think that there are billions of galaxies other than the one we live which is the Milky Way Galaxy, and to ponder on the nebulae and planets and stars we should be humbled at how great our God is.

Also at BLBC, in the Youth Dept Library, there are two DVDs that are well liked by our students. Indescribable and How Great is our God by Louie Giglio are tremendous videos you may want to check out on this subject. They would be great to watch together as a family.
